facing the beast
As far as I’m concerned, I was born alone.
So being a loner makes perfect sense.
See, loneliness is all I know—
loneliness is my familiar friend—
and loneliness is my comfort zone.
So when a stranger comes knocking,
threatening my best friend,
I’ll retreat, dig a deep, deep hole
and protect us both.
Because I’ve heard things about those horrible ‘others’:
the one named Love and the other, Vulnerability, among
others...
And let me just say, I want nothing to do with them.
