The Most Important Lesson I Have Ever Taught Myself
June 12, 2014
Lonesomeness no longer causes me feelings of perturbation,
For I have learned to crave isolation.
I desire not to be the group extrovert
But my own company.
Carrying out conversation requires specific talent,
Talent which I seem to lack.
Although I may participate in discussion,
The skills necessary to conduct dialogue
Are simply ones I do not wish upon myself.
They say time crystalizes social interaction.
Experience shears and shapes to scintillate the ruby.
However I do not lack experience,
but desire.
