Solitude

It’s a weird time

To be in limbo

Personally, in the world

Privately, on my own

As I age, I get clearer on who I am

What I desire

What I can contribute

And what I want

Friends have asked

Do you want to marry

Have kids

The answers, of course, but not with just anyone

If the timing is right and the person is right

Until then, my contentedness

Rests on the fact

That my solitude brings me peace

And I only spend time with those who lift me up

I can think of many times

When this was not true
