My Misery

It has been said,
Misery loves company!
But here’s the thing-
My misery loves seclusion!
Until I feel like myself-
Or lock my misery in a box,
Act like normal again,
I will enjoy my lonesomeness!
My misery hates inclusion.
It hates to let people in.

So if I’m trying to avoid you-
Or hide from you-
It’s nothing personal.
It’s not you!
It’s just me wallowing in my misery,
Drowning in my sorrow,
Enjoying my hot tears down my cheeks.

So please be patient!
Don’t leave, just wait.
I will be back,
When I feel like myself again!
Until I find a way to give you a seat in my misery,
Just bear with me.
But for now,
It’s me and my misery-
My misery and me!!

P.S. It’s okay to disappear until you feel like you again!
