My biggest desire in life is a mere few hours all alone with no one to bother me but that is truly the most elusive desire I could wish for.


If Alone Could Be A Reality

What would it be alike to be all alone?
No voices
Children wanting attention
Would be a distant memory
Finally being able to think
Talking things out
Without someone telling you
your ideas were wrong
Your own ideas
Thoughts floating without interruption
Each one building on the others
Nothing too silly
Everything would make sense
in its own way and its own time
There would be no one to rush you
You could create rather than work
Words could flow onto paper
Paints would make beautiful pictures
You could dream
A book would turn into a gateway into another world
Page after page
Chapter after chapter
Read for minutes or hours
Your thoughts would be your own
The characters would become what you make them
Their voices are what you dream
The silence outside your mind
Glorious silence
No one
Nothing
But you in your own little world
What would it be like to be all alone
It would be Hell
It would be Eden
But whatever it was
It would be you
