Why do we have to feel bad about being single? I love it!

Another year, another one comes
Why does it feel like I’m on the run?
I like being single, I like being me
Why am I made to feel unhappy?
I see the value in celebrating love
But why should I feel bad just because
Because I am happy being on my own
Because I’m not sad being home alone
People ask ‘what you going to do with yourself’
I reply ‘the same as everybody else’
I’ll be grateful for my family and those I love
I’ll be reminiscent of those I loved and lost
But dont feel bad for me this valentine
I dont need a man to shimmer and shine
You can smile at me with your feel sorry face
But cant you see its out of place?
I wont be sat at home crying any tears of woe
I’ll be having a great time, I wont be low
I’m not sad that I’m on my own today
So you dont be either, listen to what I say
I’m not anti valentine by any means
I’m anti sympathy for the pity you show me
So have your candlelight meal and beautiful flowers
Dont you see being single gives me many powers
I will be happy for the things I’ve got
So please feel dont sorry for me, Because I’m not!

Nice poem with true meaning. Someone who has been in several bad relationships are reluctant to jump into another one just for the sake of having a partner. Nothing wrong with taking your time and being cautious. You learn something from each bad experience and will find that you will not make the same mistakes you made previously with your next encounter. Good luck with the next one and keep your chin up. Well done.

Before I was married I spent most valentines as a single person. I thought it was great. I also laughed about the guys putting on their fake I love you act for their short time pleasure. What was cute was the younger people passing those little hard candy in school.

This is amazing and I completely agree.

Nice one Lizzie. I never thought about the single lovers of life at valentines.

Sometimes I wonder what it is like without someone. My brother is single and I am married. Sometimes he envies me and sometimes I envy him. There are pros and cons both ways.
