Lone

Lone

I'm tired of the strength it takes to stand alone

I'm bored with the energy expended to act solo

I've had enough of eating at a table for one

I'm sick of learning by myself

Hands grasped

Sparks inspired

Nourishment shared

Growth mutual

I desire to desire

Take the risk

and remember

how not to live lone
