Leave Me Alone

There’s a person to my left and right

In back and front as well

Space to maneuver is tight

And privacy is frail

I feel breathing on my neck

Being touched when I refuse

All these bodies I fret

My loneliness defused

Why can’t I be alone?

It’s crowded everywhere I go

My solitude you all bemoan

While my insanity grows

Isolation is what I need

Separate from me before I crack

Unless you want your soul freed

Take a few steps back

Whose on my sides, front, back?

The bodies once abhorred

Annoying breaths they now lack

Gone, forgotten, ignored
