Content With Single

It’s not a secret that I’m a single man. One of the things I have to go through as a single man, at 35, is the pressure from others to get married before I grow old.

But I rather enjoy my lifestyle right now, as it allows for me to build my writing career without the distractions of a relationship. The common belief is that I am supposed to feel lonely, and miserable, when I’m actually happy. Being in love with my work helps that a lot.

So, this morning, I wrote this short poem and posted it on my personal Facebook account. Then I thought other people might like it, so I slapped a title on it and here we are.

Share if you like it. You never know who it might encourage.

Content With Single

People think I’m hard to get

I’m just happy to be alone

People say it’s just a play

But loving me has become my home

It’s just me against the world now

Content with no artificial flavors

With no room for make believe faces

And no ears to hear the haters

And no tongue so as to savor

What people say is so good

As if my life is meaningless

Unless change, my status, I would

I will do it one fine day

Change that “S” into a “M”

But only when I get the word

But only when I hear from Him

Yeah, I told you it was short. I hope you weren’t expecting more because I certainly had none of that to give this morning! Until next time…

P.S. I promised an update on my writing process. Well, I’m finished expanding my book “Black Water” to the proper length required to tell the story.

It’s going to the editor sometime in the next few weeks (after I make some rewrites) and then I’m looking at the new updated version being ready around the end of August. I’ll keep you posted!
