Caring

I know I should be grateful

For those who include me

I want to see them

I like their company

But it has been a long time since

I had time alone

That wasn’t moments of

Scraping food into my face

On the way to my next

Place To Be

I fear that if I decline one

Invitation

They will stop coming

And although I can hold my own

All alone

That doesn’t mean I don’t want

To be included
