To Be Alone

It's easy to be alone at home.
Sometimes when I hear the fighting and yelling it's all I want: to be alone.
It's my time to retreat int my thoughts, take a nap, sing at the top of my lungs and sometimes get the pitch right, to lay on my bed and think about absolutely nothing.

The hard thing is to be alone while you are around PEOPLE.

But why is that hard for me?
Why do I care what people think of me?
Why does it matter if I do what the world says is not proper?

Well, as I'm writing this I'm starting to realize that the strangers around me are like the fallen leaves that randomly fall off of my head. TO ME...those strangers opinions of me don't matter.

I need to learn to IGNORE them when I want to be alone. Because it's alright to be alone.
No it's not alright but sometimes GOOD to be alone.
