Some of us like to be alone
Time to process on our own
Not wanting to be around others
Feeling trapped, feeling smothered
It started when you was young
You never really did like fun
Bullied at school, always picked on
Just wishing that they would be gone
In college, things should have been different
But most of them were just ignorant
Work passes by, not many friends
Nothing much changes, same old trends
Didn’t really like clubbing or drinking a lot
Dancing around badly, looking like a twot
Prefer your own company, just better like that
Prefer your solitary confinement, that’s just a fact

I’m one of those who like alone time. Then there are those times when i want companionship—not just any company though. And in those times it’s real hard being alone. Thanks for this piece 🙏🏽💕🙏🏽

This piece has always been a relatable one. Thank you for your comment. It is nice to be alone but sometimes we can find it difficult. Like a catch 22 but our great coping mechanism.

Indeed…it’s a coping mechanism. The joys of introverts eh?!

I’ve always been someone who liked, perhaps, needed to be alone. The world felt safer that way, somehow. I still like my own company – my home is my private space where I can be who I am with no pretence. I could really identify with this piece, but like you, I sometimes do like company, but it’s got to be the right person. I can’t deal with crowds or several people in my space, just a good friend, and then I’m fine. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts … Ellie 🦢

So pleased to hear that you liked and connected with my words. It’s always interesting what poems people connect with and often when I speak about spending time alone, wanting to be alone or needing to be alone it is surprising all the responses. I’m glad to have connected with you. It’s always good to be true to yourself and be proud of who you are.
