"if you are at first lonely, be patient
if you’ve been not alone much
or if when you were
you weren’t okay with it
then just wait
you’ll find its fine to be alone
once you’re embracing it
we can start with the acceptable places
the bathroom,
the coffee shop,
the library.
where you can stall and read the paper
where you can get your caffeine fix
and sit and stay there
where you can browse the stacks
and smell the books
you’re not suppose to talk much anyways
so its safe there
there’s also the gym
if you’re shy you can hang out with yourself in the mirror
and put your headphones in
and there’s public transportation
because we all gotta go places
and there’s prayer and meditation
no one will think less
if you’re hanging with your breath
seeking peace and salvation
start simple
