Ode To My Loneliness

I found out in this moment not many things frightens me more than someone threatening the convenience of my life, someone needing me beyond the capacity of my willingness or having to operate beyond that willingness' capacity.  

I like my loneliness because my loneliness belongs to me and nobody else.  I'm not alone because someone walked out on me, I'm alone because I find pleasure in my own company; I choose me.  

If I've not learned anything else from the observation of other's relationships with spouses, children, coworkers and friends (even my own friends) is that the earnest prayer of my life is to never need someone beyond the limitation of my own happiness.  And this is why I like being alone because alone is the poem to my soul's satisfaction.
