Inwardly, can you live totally alone?

Apologies, on some audio quality issues

Inwardly,

Can you live totally alone?

First, can you realize,

The movement towards:

Togetherness, belonging, identified relation?

Can you see, how, while assuming,

That one can expand, through such relationship,

The reality is, that one actually becomes -

Limited, narrowed down, even shrank,

By the very relations, imposed onto himself,

For the promise of not being alone?

---

Can you be alone, totally?

Is there anything you need to do,

To be alone totally?

Or,

Is it your ever-state?

Can anything take away, for real,

Your aloneness?

Isn’t your aloneness, actually,

The totality of that which you are?

---

Which, later on, is being decreased,

By how many, or how much of yourself,

You relate to something else,

Which you are not.

Which you want to relate to,

Be part of.

---

Can you not be alone, totally? Ever?

I doubt it…
