“arcen’t you lonely?” they ask me
“I’m sorry, what?” I answered
I’m too busy in my world
That I can’t even form a word
~
There may be days that it can get lonely
and I can live with that
But not being a friend to myself
Not listening to the voice within
That I definitely can not live with
~
They may think it’s lonely
As I’m gazed by eyes of pity
As if my world is empty
And theirs is a big city
~
I may try to explain
And I will if given the chance
But what’s with the chance
If they’re full of arrogance?
~
I don’t know how to explain to them that I love being with me
I love that I don’t want to be drowned by their words
That I don’t have the pressure to fill in the gaps of their silence
and that all I want to be is in the silence in between
~
How can I tell them that being alone brings out the best company — yourself?

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Very deep words. Ourself is indeed the best company.
Love how you embrace being your own best company! It's like saying, "I’m good with me," and that’s a vibe. So chill and real.
Omgggg, I related soooo hard with this! I honestly don't want anyone and am perfectly happy with my own company. Loved your poem!
Alone, not lonely. Impressive.
