When you're alone

It feels like

You're going nowhere

But you're somewhere

Your destination

Is where you are

There's no pressure

And your leisure

Is exactly what you take

You don't have to fake

A smile or a laugh

As a rickety life raft

Alone you're

A boat

Your own life preserver

You don't melt away

In a sea of decay

And stay that way

But that's okay

I prefer to stay

Away
