Solely - NaPoWriMo2023 #4

Alone,
 
solitary,
 
Is not such a bad thing really,
gives some  
personal
space to think and reflect.
Rather than rushing
to join the rat race of requirements.
Because if things  
do go all pear shaped
and trouble's in paradise
over a few wrong unsweet words,
there is always
square one  
waiting
because you can't take
your loved ones with you,
or so I've heard;
citation needed,
lesson unheeded and heart still open.
