Being Single Poem by Randy McClave

I am single because I choose to be
Being single is the time to work on me,
Maybe I am not emotionally able or to thin or fat
Being single, there is nothing wrong with that.
Being single isn't a time to look for love
It's the time to work and to achieve and push and shove,
You use that time to work on yourself and grow
Then you'll become the person you're proud to know.
Maybe I thought I was in a loving courtship
Then I was hoping for a committed relationship,
Maybe they were tired of milk from the same ole cow
Being single is the way that I am now.
I am single because that is what I have chose
Maybe I'm tired of stepping on other people's toes,
I now enjoy to look and also to mingle
Maybe that is why I now enjoy being single.
I am single because I'm tired of being told what to do
Being single you keep your independence too,
Only baggage you worry about is your very own
Being single is the best way to atone.
I am single because that's the way I want it
Being single doesn't mean you're odd or a misfit,
Maybe I was tired of being invisible
Being single means you are an individual.
