Go Away

It's not you, it's me.

Go away,

Leave me alone,

I don't feel like talking,

So go away now.

*

Company is a burden.

I’m just not in the mood.

I’ll talk to you later.

I just need to be by myself.

*

I’m tired

I need to rest

So please go away

And leave me be

*

The pain is back.

Solitude is what I need.

I hope you understand

It’s not you but me.

*

My presence wouldn’t benefit,

Either you or me

I’d rain on your parade

And bring you down

*

So please,

go away,

And leave me alone

I’ll thank you for it later

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    An introvert's anthem, it seems. Enjoyed this poem!

  • This is soooo me. I tend to isolate myself when I'm not in the mood because like you mentioned, I'd rain on their parade. Loved your poem!
