Maybe I never got it, because there was nothing to get.

Just finishing up , just walking away,

I stop seeking tomorrow at the cost of today.

I stop sharing my struggles, hoping to build community,

Thinking others want to share as well, if given opportunity.

Relationships have never become what I hoped they would,

But by breaking my heart they have done me the most good.

So I retreat now back to my cave,

The wounded animal, no regrets for what was lost or what I gave.

And when it”s all said and done what I’ve found in the end,

Is I wish I would have learned sooner to be my own best friend.
