Loner

They must think I’m a loner
I convince myself
As the reason they don’t
Speak to me.

It’s so much easier than
Accepting the truth-
That they have no interest
In knowing me.

I wish they knew
How opposite of a loner I am:
That I need people
Around me at all times.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: "Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them."
