Sometimes It Is by Cat Quirk
Sometimes it’s nice
to be alone
to have peace
but sometimes
it’s not
Sometimes being
alone
is just that
cold, hard, dark
alone
There are days
when I just want
to curl up into a ball
and cry
for myself
for others who know
how I feel
Sometimes it’s hard
to be alone
and sometimes it
overcomes us
our hearts, souls, lives
want more
those are the days
we question
everything we know
and pray
to be loved
to be savored
like we are
born to be
to be alone
to have peace
but sometimes
it’s not
Sometimes being
alone
is just that
cold, hard, dark
alone
There are days
when I just want
to curl up into a ball
and cry
for myself
for others who know
how I feel
Sometimes it’s hard
to be alone
and sometimes it
