To Be

Or not maybe a haiku

By Andrea Corwin Published about a year ago 1 min read

I would rather be

by myself, alone, than be

Mis-used by others.

    Very nice! In a non offensive way- Is that not a tinge of cowardice tho?

    Well-wrought! Much my own conclusion, though I do not think solitude necessarily equals loneliness.
