I like myself
Find yourself
Happiness is only real when shared
be alone
I don't have a problem being alone
I go on adventures solitary
I go to movies solo
meals as well
What do you have to offer
if you are not whole?
I know what I want
Two wholes together to make a wholer whole
I won't settle
This must be mutually beneficial
I go to battle loneliness
Not to seek wholeness
Patch yourself up
I go because I am particular
Prepare yourself so that the offering of self can be pleasing
I go because I want a connection
deeper than the one mere friends can supply
You can't honestly expect to go like that
It isn't imitation intimacy that I seek,
that is freely offered every Saturday night
Pull yourself together
What is intimacy without friendship?
Who are you?
If you can't answer these questions how can you ask them?
I want to build something
You need to be okay
I want to plant seeds now for a fulfilling harvest
You need to date yourself
I don't want a placeholder
You need to invest in yourself
I'd rather wake up alone
than next to a stranger
or worse, a being I don't respect
Otherness can not fulfill you
How many journies must I take?
You seem codependent
Where is the rubric of wholeness
You seem needy
Do you speak from culture or from knowing?
You keep telling yourself that
Are these organic words or over processed?
I know what you need
Who is the one with self awareness?
I know what is best
Is the goal of life to be independent?
Self-sufficent
You may be the one living your life but I know
We see more clearly than you
Do we want others to be okay in our absence?
Listen to what I said
To be missed, to be remembered, isn't that good?
I have to go now
Are we to be a part of a community
or are we to be completely singular?
I have social gathers
Are we whole humans when we detach?
I have a relationship
Do we need to prove to those around us?
I have a life
You stay here
Stay
Stop forcing it
What are the nights like for you?
Let it happen
Stay put
Stay
This is the way
Stay
