Now that I know it


only if I knew
an outstretched palm
awaiting raindrops
would get scorched in the sun
I would’ve conquered thirst
 
only if I knew
parasols
I held close
would be blown by the wind
I would’ve built shelters
 
Only if I knew
relationships
will fall short
of expectations
I would’ve invested in myself
 
Now that I know
loneliness
is the only truth
I will rename it
Coveted Solitude
