Being alone has me writing this rhyme
No Superhero sidekick no partner in crime
Days spent in isolation gives cause for hesitation
To open your door to wanting much more
A friend for life doesn’t mean a wife
But your partner in crime in which to do time
I’ve spent the last years, thinking it was ok
That being on my own was the best possible way
I’ve tried with friendships but they all feel the same
No ones ever driving in the same line
Things start great then they learn about you
See your troubles as a burden rather than understanding you.
All I ask is to try and get me, I’m not asking to come and save me.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a reflection on building relationships and the fear there is to open up about your past/struggles you’re dealing with. I feel being in a good place is best place to start when you’ think about meeting someone but sometimes that’s not an option

Completely understand this. Keep it as a wish, them at arms length, you're better off in the long run.
Good understandable words in these Strange Times.

dear poet, friendship begins (like most things), with yourself
see: when you can spend days on end, in your own company alone and fuel that self-motivation to keep busy, whilst still squeezing every drop of joy from life, then
you'll understand whoever comes in and out of your life will have a limited impact: for you already know, you'll be just fine on your own..
this 'learned' mindset, creates a domino effect in your future relationships, see in order for us to find those true few friends, we need to weed out all those wannabe impersonators.. sometimes we make childhood friends that last a lifetime but not much after,
other times we only find our true friends - near the end of our journey and they arrive just in-time to ease those toughest last few miles..
what's important is we keep our perception of self worth intact, while we're searching, so that we never settle for anything less than we deserve,
while remembering: friendship exists in the act of freely 'giving' without 'expectation' of reciprocation..
at least that's what I've found to be true for me, in my humble opinion
