Distance is like a friend
not that I prefer solitude
Isolation is lonely yet comforting
When privacy is secure
making betrayal impossible
I begin believing
distance is like
an unconditional friend
always there for me
Helping me sort out my feelings
without humiliation
My tears don't seem so irrational
My reasoning's feel sane
When I keep my distance
The storm subsides
until I can see clearly enough
to show my smiling side
