People hear compliments so infrequently,
they are distrustful of people who are liberal with them.
What a shame.
I complain.
Things don’t change,
and I get strange.
So it’s time for me to learn to love the sound of silence,
and seek out the kind of peace I finally feel when I’m alone.
When I get still I can believe that I, indeed, am worthy.
Yes it’s time for me
to try to be
more alone.
