Solitude

Home used to be my safe place,

One day every other week when I had time to myself.

No interruptions from friends and family.

A place where I could recharge myself for the weeks to come.

The solitude was peaceful and restorative.

Then the pink slip came.

He was around all the time.

Destroying my peace.

Invading my personal space.

I'm losing my mind from the disturbance of my solitude.

I don't even have autonomy over my body anymore,

As I have become his outlet to release his frustrations.

Goodbye solitude.

Instead, my peace has been replaced with anger and tension,

As I am finding ways to regain my solitude.

Even if I have to avoid my home to do so.

Please find him a job soon.

So I can have my solitary days at home which I desire once more.
