Wild child, unorthodox,

normalcy deficit,

learn to be lonely.

Broken-hearted, injured

spirits,

learn to be lonely.

First and only child,

curious spirit,

learn to be lonely.

I know two heads are better

then one,

a sky full of stars

is brighter, prettier

then one.

But a great many of things are

wrapped in fool’s gold.

For a table of one isn’t

shame.

Learning to be lonely

only proves you aren’t

alone.

For love, will keep you

warm,

and days will be longer.

learn to be lonely,

My wild child,

my first and only

curious spirit.

Go gentle into the world

and learn what it means

to be lonely.
