Living Alone

I am happy alone, 
I am okay with being rejected and ignored by the world,
I find comfort in myself and in nature

You may not understand why I am happy this way,
And that's fine, 
I don't need your approval,
I am going to live my way,
You live yours.

Maybe one day I will become lonely,
Maybe I will want the world to accept me,
But not yet.

Being alone is my silent,
None violent way of rebelling,
I need no one around,
So I can figure out why things are the way they are.

So, 
If you see me alone in a Café,
Or in the park,
Let me be, 
Because chances are I am having the best time,
Admiring the world from a distance.

I am okay with being alone,
I am okay with being different,
So don't worry about me,
I'll be fine,
Just like always.
