Belong

I’ve never felt more like I belonged, then alone in my own home.

I don’t really think theres someone meant for me, and it doesn’t make me sad.

I think I’m one of those ancient goddesses, whole unto herself.

No counterpart, no outside completer.

Its like showing up to a party where the music is playing on headphones that were already passed out, sometime prior.

That feeling everyone can hear something, you can’t.

Like they are all apart of something, connected in there desire and belief they are incomplete and searching.

But I don’t want to put the headphones on.

I don’t want to hear the song.

When I watch them dance, it just feels wrong

I’ve never felt more like I belonged

then in my own arms

I’m not here to play along

    Ivy I understand and experience finding comfort in being alone, like a being not meant for mass production… After being depleted from the city and people, I find it comforting to get away from home and visit mother nature’s cathedrals, like Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, Especially Julia Pfiffer Burns State park and beach, and Sedona Arizona’s oak creek canyon, just to name a few. To in a way decompress, and recharge. I know your home is your refuge of solace, as is mine but I’d like to think that my favorite places in nature, nurture body and spirt. Find your favorite places where the people aren’t.

    You certainly have the smile of a goddess. If you’re happy in your own skin being both artist and muse combined. In you haven from those who flock. Then breathe and just be. ❤️✌️
