Safety In Isolation.

Safety in Isolation.

When I was a kid, being alone meant I was safe.

There was no one there to be enraged or erratic; no one around who could elicit my fear. I became accustomed to seeking refuge in a quiet space.

Unfortunately, this habit seems to have followed me into adulthood.

I had learned that a safe life is a solitary one, but this sentiment became a catalyst for my lifelong tendency to isolate.

The pangs of loneliness aren’t even enough to draw me out.

I crave to be known while never wanting to be seen.

the moon is hiding in
her hair.
The
lily
of heaven
full of all dreams,
draws down. cover her briefness in singing
close her with the intricate faint birds by daisies and twilights
Deepen her, Recite
upon her
flesh
the rain’s pearls singly-whispering.

e.e. cummings, “the moon is hiding in” (via petrichour)

Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.
