In many ways
Being alone would be easier
I know
That at one point
In my life
I will cause great pain
Inexplicable pain
To the people I love.

And it isn't fair.
I didn't ask for that.
I didn't ask to be a burden.
I didn't ask to make you worry.
I didn't ask to worry about your life beyond me.

This isn't what I wanted.
To impact you in any way.

I wanted to be alone.
But you wouldn't let me.
The world wouldn't let me.
And that's what's so unfair.

A person on their own means absolutely nothing.
You have given me meaning, and it was cruel to do so.
