When will I not be alone?
In a place where uncertainty grows,
in a world always uncomfortable,
like a new pair of jeans...
that never break-in.

Comforted by friends.
Their caring eyes
and sincere words...
all bounce off the walls
carefully constructed,
surrounding me,
protecting me,
and separating.... us.

Separating them
from me.
The world,
from my world.
A place I've come to know.
A place comfortable and...
in which I'm in control.

In which no one can hurt me.
I am safe.
I am..... alone.
