It's OK to be Alone

Very nicely put..

What a pleasant thought. Reminds me of a book I read called 'I'm okay, Your okay'. It was a head spinner!

"We have to go out and make things happen for ourselves" you said and yet, you are so afraid of the predators who will take you for their prey. Shouldn't you make things happen for you despite the pain?

Yes, I do go out and make things happen for myself. What I meant by the predators is people who I\\\'ve entrusted in my life, in my home, with my heart and feelings; and in the end they took my kindess for weakness and tried to hurt me. Those are the predators I stay weary of. The line in the poem says \\\"I\\\'m surrounded by people everyday, but what\\\'s inside me remains hidden, away from predators who will take me for their prey. I\\\'m just cautious with my feelings, but I generally take risks in my life, emotions are something else. Thank you for your comment. Thank you for reading my poems.

I meant to say wary, not weary; although encounters with predators can make me weary. Thanks again

hm... it sounds like poetry to me... ^_^

It's not okay to just be, it's great. We make things happen for ourselves, by ourselves. Therefore, we need alone time and as you said, we are not always physically alone, but we must find the place wher we can be alone to think straight, to contemplate the day and our actions. Another lovely read. Michael
