Analysis of The Art of Making it Alone
The moment you let people into your life - you exposed yourself to vulnerability
The worst part about betrayal - it doesn't come from your enemy
You put your whole trust into someone - you ended up being let down
Fake memories flooded your chest - strong enough for you to drown
The fear of being tricked or played slowly consumes your energy
In the process of your battle you lost sight of positivity
You don't want to be lonely so you subtly look for a companion
You try to keep in touch by maintaining a damaged connection
But being alone doesn't mean you are lonely
Surviving by yourself has its own kind of beauty
When things fall apart and you seek for a peaceful home
That's when you resort to the art of making it alone.

About this poem
Being just by yourself owns a certain value that most of us tend to overlook. Belonging to a crowd may appear fun and good as much as one's desire to go alone as it can possibly could.
