Alone
I want to be alone
Only then, will the expectations disappear
Only then, will the pressure be lifted
Only the, will the burden and stress be gone
Only then, will I be alone
I want to be alone
Away from family and their worry gazes
Away from friends, for they don't understand
Away from my thoughts and feelings for they are not wanted
Away from myself, for am alone
I want to be alone
No progress to count
No accomplishments to be achieve
No pretending to be happy
No more tears that are silent
No more me to worry about
I want to be alone
Because then can I think for myself
Because then I can she tears for myself
Because then can I reason for myself
Because then, can I truly be myself
Because then will I not feel alone

Some fear being alone. Clearly, you are free from this concern.
Solitude is a welcome thing when it is welcome! Being content in
one's own company is a blessing beyond price.
