Alone

Alone isn't all to fun

It’s that scary roller coaster you are forced to ride

Or that family reunion

Alone isn’t that scary

It’s like the jump scare you always expect

Or Spider that creeps around your house

Alone isn’t what others think

It’s like a book you immerse into

Or the constant white noise in every school

Alone isn’t loneliness

It’s like quarantine and scientists

Or a night with your dog

Alone isn’t difficult

It’s like walking across the room

Or making a bowl of cereal

Alone isn’t inconvenient

It’s like the spoiled birthday surprise

Or a walk to the farmers market

Alone becomes less and less of a chore

You get used to it

At one point you forget what it's like to have another

Yet it's always easy to hide alone

And when you hide alone, you are always with yourself

Who better to be with?

Someone you can judge others with, tell stories to,

Or even be yourself with.

In the end alone is satisfaction
