I am alone and yet I am not alone
I am not surrounded by others
I am not engrossed in conversation
And yet I do not panic though I am by myself
I am my own company
Here is what matters the most to me
Here is where I at last can find refuge in myself
Here presents a moment of acceptance
Coupled with relief
A moment of self reflection and appreciation
A moment of thoughts only privy to me
After all if I am not comfortable being around me
How can I expect others to be?
I relish these moments; these moments of peaceful solitude
Where I can find true understanding
My true definition coming forth and becoming clearer, without other's involvement or input
Solo; as I was at birth
Minus the nervousness and uncertainty
Just I, basking in the familiarity of one being; myself
And never before have the number seem so enticing safe and free
