I wonder what would happen,
If I suddenly disappeared.
Would you come to look for me?
Or would it not seem weird?
Perhaps you thought I’d always
Venture out, alone, one day;
But, did you ever realize
I may not be back, this way?
I’m out among the living world,
Trying to find the real me.
And if by chance, I don’t return
One day, I hope you’ll see…
All the times you took me wrong,
You never really understood;
That everything I tried to do,
Was, for your own good
But, that’s okay, I get it,
You were trying to find you, too.
And now you have the time,
To do exactly what you want to do.

Really like this…says so much in just one poem! So much that people can actually relate and agree too, I think there comes a time in ones life that being alone is the only and one thing that should be done! I always think if one is truly content with themselves and don’t need anyone to make them feel like that then one can do ANYTHING! If you can’t trust yourself and be honest…how you suppose to be like that with anyone you know?

This theme repeats in my own life. I like to be near others, but then it is glorious to be alone. I loved this poem!

Personally, I don’t think we were meant to live with other people. It is so hard, requires such a lot of patience and understanding. (and not just on your part either!)

Funny, I sometimes feel the same but then think, do I really want to be alone? Our moods are ever changing.

I’m not sure where I really stand on this. Must be my moody menopause syndrome.

This is profound. There are so many ways to lose the people we love. I keep going back to this verse:
Perhaps you thought I’d always
Venture out, alone, one day;
But, did you ever realize
I may not be back, this way?

Thanks so much, Rob. I think we take and are taken advantage of our relationships at some point in our lives. This came about after an argument, and I was feeling sorry for myself. not something I often d, but writing it out helped. I appreciate your comments. ❤

I was thinking along the lines that we each need space, but we also need to give each an ear, then relationships become a little easier. I was also reminded, on a light note, of the two Scots brothers who lived in a croft. One evening one did not return. Ten years later he returned and the other brother asked where he had been. The response was ‘Out’. And life continued on as normal.
