Solitude

I'm standing in an expansive field
Where tall, dry grasses
Wave in the breeze
The sky is overcast today
No one else
Is here

No, there's no one here
No one at all
No one with an opinion to share
No one with expectations
No one passing their judgment
No one expressing frustrations

No one to say
That my words were unkind
When I've had only
Good intentions

No one to claim
That they'd love me
If I met
All of their conditions

No
There's no one here
No one else
I am truly alone
And I'll stay that way
In my solitude
Because solitude is comforting

It's the only place
Where I can be myself
And not be a big disappointment

It's the only place
Where I can say what I feel
And not run the risk of an argument

Yes
I think I'll stay here
In my field
For a while
Where I can just be myself
It will take some time 
Before I can go back
And be with someone else
