Being Alone (By Choice)

Being alone is all my choice It is my decision, my own voice, It is the life that I alone did choose After of course, I have paid all my dues. I am not alone because of my looks I am not alone because of my books, And if you need to know the truth to your query It might make you sad and very teary. I have been told that I am a good looking man With always a smile and a great adventurous plan, I am not mean, judgmental or ever greedy And I always help others, especially the poor and the needy. I don't smoke or drink or use any type of drugs I also don't swear or curse or abuse women like thugs, And when at night I go to bed I fall asleep easily, knowing of the good day that I led. I treat women the way that they all should be treated As queens they should always be greeted, And as the Bible says about finding diamonds after being mined Indeed a good woman is so very hard to find. I have been in this life for such a very long time And I have seen almost every type of pain or crime, And why am I alone you might still want to ask I am just tired of being the only person not wearing a mask.
