Solitude

Solitude

Life is of your control
There will always be people to meet
Always be people to be close to
How close can people get
To some closeness is all that is important
It is what defines them
The search for closeness sometimes robs you of oneself
Solitude

How much can one give without giving too much
Why do people want closeness from you
Is it for their gain or for yours
Is an experience alone as valuable as an experience with another
Does someone else have to experience something with you
Does that make the experience worthy
I desire my own experience
Solitude

There is a need for space
There is a need for my own experience
This experience will bring me closer to me
Being close to yourself is important
You need to know yourself
To know yourself takes time and space
Without knowing yourself, how can you become close to another
Solitude

My heart is a treasure
It is not for everyone
It is not for anyone
It is for me
I want my heart to be full of my own pleasures
Then it can be for someone other than me
