Being alone is a liberating thing
It allows you to discover yourself
Your true self

And yet,
As I watch the passers go by
I can’t help but feel life passing me by

That young couple, their movements synchronized
With that sort of sparkle in their eyes
That only ever comes about with true love

Or the young child
Soaking in everything life has to offer
With an ignorance that is palpable and endearing

Ignorance is bliss, so I’m told
But you haven’t truly lived life until that same ignorance
Is taken away from you

So I stick to myself
Stuck in these thoughts
Drowning further away
