Sisyphean Attempts at Self-Improvement

Lonely & Loving It

Loneliness is
         the imperative of isolation
         the requisition of reclusion

Loneliness means
         the presence of peace
         the serenity of solitude
         the quaintness of quiet

Loneliness brings
         the clarity of companionless comfort
         the alleviation of ascendant anxieties
         the freedom from forced fellowships
         the liberty from lively loquaciousness
