The world knows it
As Saint Valentine's Day
And it is yet another holiday
Centered around
Relationships
(And eating),
But what about
Those of us
Who are the beloved
Of no one?
Should we not be granted
A holiday of our own?
I propose
That a day be set aside
To remind the world
That not everyone in it 
Has a sweetheart,
A day set aside
To raise awareness
Of unclaimed
And broken hearts,
A day
When we joyfully do for ourselves
What no one else
Seems willing to do;
I propose
A Single Persons Awareness Day
To fall in August,
For there are no special days 
In August,
And in the midst of summer
May we celebrate
Our individuality
With fine dining
And purchased gems
And, perhaps,
A chocolate extravagance;
Then, when the day is through,
We should put on our best silk nighties
For the person we need most...
Ourselves.
