By Andrea Corwin Published 2 years ago 1 min read

I would rather be

by myself, alone, than be

Mis-used by others.

    I love the truth of this, Andrea. Another great piece!

    Very nice! In a non offensive way- Is that not a tinge of cowardice tho?

  • Well-wrought! Much my own conclusion, though I do not think solitude necessarily equals loneliness.
