Alone…
Once one is alone, anything can happen.
If you were alone, what would happen?
You could write a book.
You could sing a song.
You just might think long enough to create a whole other world…
So what if that world is in your closet,
or under your bed, or even under your very own finger nails!!!
There a million things you can do alone.
I should know, I spend most of my time alone.
I could be with all of my friends and family
all at the same time and it will make no difference.
I will remain solitaire. Singularly. Or with the theme of this, alone.
I guess if you are alone you could even do nothing at all.
What you do when you’re alone, in my mind,
all relies on how long you are alone.
If you’re alone for a short time you could do nothing.
If your time went longer than that you could write that book.
A little longer and that world will thrive.
Adding more time to the alone time will add to the possibilities.
In there lies the problem with being alone.
If you go too far with staying alone, you get something no one ever thinks of getting.
If left alone for too long, you get lonely.
The point I’m failing to make is that being alone is not all it has claimed to be.
True, we all need some time alone.
Some personal space or “me” time.
But out of all the things I’ve done in my time of being alone…
I know they all would have mattered more.
They would have had meaning and purpose if they were only shared with some one else.
