Aloneness
I wear it like a secret badge of honor -
I did it all by myself -
survived the previously thought unlivable.
What did I do? I grew up...
And I never want to do it again.
and I don't want to do any more of it,
because something is lost.
Child-like faith, and trust,
and the in-born belief that the world is good.
Maybe that is why it was so hard -
I had to drag myself
kicking and screaming the whole way.
And don't you think
you can do it for me
"for my own good".
Leave me alone,
it's much better to hurt myself by myself.
Then I have no one to blame, and I learn.
