Afraid of being alone

Am I truly scared to be alone,
Or is it the world insisting I should be ?

They tell me, I'm not strong enough
To stand in solitude , to just be me.
Yet most days , alone, I feel alive
In my own company , I thrive.
Yet most days , alone, I find peace
In quite corners , I find release.

But doubt creeps in , their voice plants a seed
Is it them?  Or just my own mind I feed?

Maybe I'm not strong enough to stand ,
Maybe breaking norms is my only plan.
Maybe I am not strong enough to stay ,
Maybe I am just defying in my own way .

Am I just boring, plain and bare,
Afraid of the world to see me there ?

Maybe I am just boring, plain as a day
And fear, the world will see me that way.

In truth, I know I am simple
Quite and true
But I don't want the world
To see that too.
