I’m alone in this house.

It’s quiet.

There’s an aloneness inside me.
When things get quiet you can feel it.

Embrace the quiet times, so that you can feel it
so that you can learn who you are.

You are not obvious to yourself.
You hide yourself from yourself
behind distractions, tasks, hypothetical fears.

Maybe if you didn’t hide,
you wouldn’t be alone.
