Myself
I treat myself
like I am a normal human being
like I have normal feelings and emotions
because that is the way I feel.
It wasn't like this
three years ago
but it is like this today
right now.
The peace and serenity
in which
I am located
is real.
The way
I love being
with other people
and connecting with them
is wonderful.
While I am by myself
I no longer feel alone
nor do I feel lonely.
I have made the changes
which have improved
my life.
About This Poem
Last Few Words: I met my former neighbours , Jodie and Kiran, just yesterday, walking down the main road not far from me. It was lovely to speak with them again. They were on the way back from a walk after a workout at one of the local gyms down the road. I relate, in this poem, to the way I am feeling currently and was feeling at that moment in time.
