Solitude is soft.
Solitude is kind.
It sits beside you
Like a gentle mind
It doesn’t ask questions
It doesn’t demand
It gives you stillness
And holds your hand
Being alone feels strange sometimes
It feels too quiet
Too slow
Too wide
People often run from it
Fill the room
Fill the time
Fill the heart from outside
They say it’s lonely
They say it’s sad
But being alone
Is not being bad
It’s space to listen
To hum your own song
To stretch out your thoughts
To just be all along
We should not fear it
We should not hide
We should sit with it gently
And look inside
Let yourself wander
Let yourself rest
Let go of the rush
Just do your best
Talk to the sky
Lie in the grass
Ask silly questions
Let each moment pass
Don’t judge the quiet
Don’t rush the day
Don’t fill every corner
Let some thoughts stay
Because what solitude brings us
Is laughter inside
Is wonder unspoken
Is being our guide
We will know ourselves better
We will bloom on our own
We will feel whole
Even when we’re alone
So remember this secret
When nothing is loud
You are not lost
You are not a cloud
You are whole
You are light
You are safe in your space
Solitude is a gift
Not an empty place.
So don’t be afraid
To walk on your own
You’re never quite lonely
When you’re truly alone
It’s where truth can be found
