Better Alone
   When others --
      Hear my tale
    My reality
     They don't want --
    To seek another
     Or have any --
    Relationship(s)
      ANY LONGER
   The become afraid --
     To meet someone
   I don't hardly --
      Blame them
    I understand --
     Them completely
      I hear them --
    With empathy
      I must agree
    Wholeheartedly
      After a time --
    It becomes better
       To remain solo
    Than risk this --
       New crime form
         Not so new
    Becoming more --
     Popularly documented
   You can cross --
      All your T's
     And dot all --
        Your I's
    You can be --
     Perfectly stable
   You can be --
       Anyone
     In any life --
        Situation
    Mainstream --
       To eccentric
     Artistic --
        To bland
    Beautiful --
        To plain
       Even homely
    Vibrantly young --
       To middle age
      Or ancient
   Highly educated --
      Or unschooled
     Wealthy or poor
    Whatever variety --
       You exist as
    You can be --
        Anyone
   And find yourself --
    A stalking victim.
