being alone

what is so hard about
being alone
why do i run away from
being alone

when i'm with myself
i want to run away
to hide from all that i am

what roles have i played
in shaping what's left of
who i was created to be

glimpses of who i was
before i came along
leave me all the more angry
that i'm not that today

why can't i be ok with
being alone
what is so hard about
being alone
