There are Empty chairs all around me Wisps of people who were here --But now aren't-- And yes, even the chair closest to me Contains but the ghost of a person Here, I stand alone For better or for worse I stand alone Among all these chairs I must be brave In my own presence Content inside my own skin Comfortable without a chair of my own --Even in a room full of chairs-- Because I (must) stand alone

Confident Posture
There are Empty chairs all around me Wisps of people who were here --But now aren't-- And yes, even the chair closest to me Contains but the ghost of a person Here, I stand alone For better or for worse I stand alone Among all these chairs I must be brave In my own presence Content inside my own skin Comfortable without a chair of my own --Even in a room full of chairs-- Because I (must) stand alone
I have yoga class every other day, and we used chair props today. The strange thing is, I wrote this yesterday, completely unaware.
