I don't want anybody around me

I may have wanted once

I may want it again

But I don't want anyone around me.

I need me and me alone

I need my eyes to see myself

my thoughts to hear theselves out

I want no one to tell me I am wrong

but my own honest mouth.

I don't want him to be befriend me

I don't want her to love me

I don't want them to care

I don't want someone to despise

to ignore me or to stare.

I don't know why I abhorred solitude

when it gave me all I had

and Human company did teach me the pain of seperation

and I am not glad.
