I should have
remembered
in all my long years
why I am a loner
why it is best
I'm not fit for human
consumption
too damaged
with few if any
social graces
Endowed with
great gifts
I do them best in
short term
circumstances
I am an encourager
a problem solver
empathic
honest to a fault
sometimes
One of my gifts is
pissing people off-
(Tongue in cheek)
without trying-not
knowing how I did it
I trust when I love
sometimes I shouldn't
I know now to never
trust completely
even those I love
I am empathic
I feel other people's
emotions
Some have thought
I could read minds
I am far too sensitive
I learned when
I was very young
no turning it off
I have tried
I am not taking
things personally
this is different
not fair to anyone
sometimes a lonely life
I have God and pets
It is enough
occasionally a dear
person tries to befriend
I have to walk away
It pains me too much
to hurt someone special
God made me different
I am ok with who I am
after sixty years of hard work

Author Notes
Now at eighty-two, I am still learning, but am pretty much at peace when alone.
Thank you, seshadri_sreenivasan. For loaning your lovely art.
