Have Learned To

I have learned to play by myself --

Hopefully I won't need to often

I have learned to hold in the pain --

Though it is easier to release it.

I have learned to dwell in my mind -- 

When no one wants to listen.

I have learned to let all be -- 

Especially 'cause no one desires to change it.

A very effective poem, Leanne. To me at least, maybe because I remember feeling that way for a time, I know just what you mean. Being alone with ourselves is not a bad thing, I think.
