Alone

I want to be alone
No one to be near me
No one to tell me what to do
No one to do anything
Just alone

Why I want to be alone I don't know
I just want time
Time to think
Time to be me
Time to myself

Alone is what I want to be
Even if you love me
Even if you want to talk
Even if you need me
Please just leave me

You might think I'm isolating myself
Or just loving myself
But I don't want anyone
I just want myself

I might want you later
But I don't want you now
Just leave me alone
I'll tell you when I'm back down

Maybe I'm over dramatising
Maybe I'm depressed
Maybe you think I'm stupid
Maybe you talk about me

Being alone is more than you think
A time to do what I want
A time to be me
And a time just to understand who I am
