Envious guy

Trapped, encage in my own
Selfish deed.

Jelous of the love
I don't have.
Perhaps winter
Is the only
Season I master
To arise
Left out in
My own devise.

Author's Note

After writing this a question arise, like many relatives and friends ask, 'why are you single?'. I don't know how long I haven't been ask with that question. Maybe I've been comfortable on my own pace that nobody dare yet ask. To be honest it's been 10 years or more I've been solo, managing my own winter season. As you've read, you might think Im the problem, perhaps, or we don't really know, it's hard wearing my shoes, have you tried it? Well time well till if I grow old alone.

Being alone isn't so bad, but you can't help being envious at times, sometimes, it's just human nature, I guess.

Thank you for reading.

There is no problem that I see in being alone or on my own. I've been alone for almost a decade now and I like the idea of being on my own, doing my own thing, as and when I like. Not for me the stifling in a relationship. The rot always sets in eventually. So I would not envy those bonded thus. They have to make many adjustments and compromises.

Helloooo there Pax! You're such a steady presence on this website :)

Being alone is a very difficult thing to accomplish, but there is a worse thing than being alone, one of which is being with someone who does not appreciate you or respect you or enjoy you. Personally I think the secret to being alone is to be content with who you are as a person. And it makes perfect sense to be envious of those you see together that are content with their own self and each other. But also realize you are viewing them from outside appearances which we know can be misunderstood, only they know what they have or don't have, and I'm sure some of them are envious of you. Perhaps the season you are mastering is not winter after all, perhaps it is each and every season. Thanks for the post -carl

Hellos, Pax,

not summer but winter, great imagery

I relate to being alone but not lonely...we make choices.
I had my relationships, marriages etc. so I can relate to this...and to the comfort level now.
