The Loner

The Loner

I don't need you, I need spiritual upliftment,
it was given to me, they said it was heaven sent;
there was a rumour of procreation, not for me,
look what it gives you, a headache it seems to be.

They say that I'm selfish but that's not the case,
how do you measure yourself with the human race;
I travelled the world, not backpacking, employed,
a big difference, there are some things to avoid.

What happens when you're old, who looks after you
when you're ill? They are not reasons to decide what to do;
I was lucky but luck does not come your way, unless
it's nudged in your direction, you should have guessed.

I'm at liberty, free as a bird, excuse me while I mingle,
we can't all be like me, but if you don't mind I'm staying single.
