SPOKEN POETRY

"ALONE"

I like being alone.
I like having no expectations from anyone but myself.
I like staying at home with a cup of coffee together with my favorite book.
I like playing music loudly and repeatedly. Singing along while making my dinner. Or dancing in the pouring rain.
I like living inside my head and forgetting the world. But sometimes I get lost in between the fantasies I created.
And no one's there to guide me back to reality. Like a sinking boat that lost it's anchor in the surging sea.
I most likely forgot the lyrics of my soundtrack and no one's there to remind me what it was. Because not all voids can be filled with hum and stuttered music.
And there are emptiness that only expectations can make up. I like being alone but it always come with loneliness. And it terrifies me.
