I'd Rather Be...

it wasn't easy being alone...
but many tmes, i thought,
i'd rather be...
if only to find myself...
if only to realize things...
and know the difference..

although i don't say
i don't need someone...
of course, i do need it...
a friend, whatever you call it...

just like i always dream about...
someone to listen to my heart...
to laugh with...to cry with...to just be with....

simple living is all i want...
but life has its ups and downs,
and you can't help, if not,
run away from the complications
that life brings me...

it's alright...i'm still alive...
survival is the word....
and it's what, i guess,
am suppose to do...
to survive every single day that comes...
no matter what...
