I’M NEVER ALONE
I’m never alone,
I’m always with myself.
My constant companion,
Like bookends on a shelf.
I don’t mind being by myself.
I’m pretty good company.
I can carry on a conversation,
Even though it’s just with me.
I can go through the day,
Just me, myself, and I.
We all know each other,
Because we’re all the same guy.
I could be in solitary,
Denied the use of a phone,
But I’d still be with me,
I never leave myself alone.

I have been watching a lot of survival shows. Some people seem to be quite comfortable being in nature alone (I believe that I am that way). But, I am continually surprised at the number of "tough" outdoor types and/or "experienced" survivalist types who find it very difficult to be alone for even a few days, and when given the opportunity to quit, will tap out.
I think that is the reason why solitary confinement is probably torture.

You and yourself, makes great company,
Since there won't be any disagreement.
You are doing very well, Michael!
Love ya!
