She heard the word
Alone
And she was instantly on guard
Why should she care
If she had someone to call her own
Or if she lived alone
Was it really so bad
To spend time with herself
But she had lived
A lot of years with someone
Her parents, husband and daughter
And the quiet was suffocating her now
Left in that silent void
She had never felt so alone and scared
But she was trying
There were less tears now
And more acceptance
If she could just get past
The feeling she would forever be alone
Maybe she could find a friend in herself

Alone is not always a bad thing. Sometimes I am the best company their is.
I still struggle with alone… but am getting better.
Finding a friend in oneself is good. Alone can be fun too.
