What was mistaken for closeness was just a case of mitosis

I am alone.
I see the birds flying above, and I am alone.
When I go to sleep at night, I am alone.
I go to campus, alone.
I leave campus, alone.
I wake up in the morning, and I am alone.

Solitude is often mistaken for sadness.
Do you see me drive by alone in my car?
I am not sulking, I am not frowning.
I am smiling.
I am dancing.
I am clapping.
I am happy to be alive.
I just happen to be alone.

But I am not sad.

Just because a person is alone
Does not mean they are not satisfied in life.
I have found more joy being alone than I ever had
Being part of a pair

What was mistaken for closeness
Was just a case of mitosis

Are all relationships like this?

Can you be part of a successful relationship with someone who is a carbon copy of yourself?
Would you not be bored all of the time?
At every moment, I know precisely how you will react,
Because you are me and I am you.
There would be no excitement.
No uncertainty.

What defines success? (Our goals)

My goal is to be alone.
I am successful.

My goal is to be happy.
I am successful.

My goal is to write in strange phrasing.
Success belongs solely to me.

This is not a sad post, but a post of the most sincere nature.

I am happy. Believe me when I say it.
