Loneliness

Loneliness I have always been a bit of a loner it is a part of me I cannot eradicate. I have had few close friends as friendship is an itch that is demanding in its clawness My loneliness is a part of me I try to escape but also embrace as it sets me free. I became accustomed to living alone when I stayed on a farm with only animals as imagined friends. There were no other children to talk and play. Sometimes loneliness can be a burden walking alone turnaround and say, look at this view! When I write- I do not call myself a poet- It is as I connect with unseen friends and the act of writing feels like I belong to the world.
