It's easier to do things alone. You have a vision in your head and you make it happen. Nobody puts their impression on it. Its your creation and you can feel proud when it works out.

It's easier to do things alone. You don't have to negotiate and discuss the details. In fact you don't have to talk at all.

It's easier to do things alone. You don't have to check that its been done "properly". You don't have to call someone back to the task or coax them to do a better job.

It's easier to do things alone. You summon up your strength and lift the burden and put it on your shoulders and go in the direction that you want to go.

It's easier to do things alone. At least...until the burden starts to feel heavy. But, you keep taking on more and more stuff even though you begin to feel unsteady beneath the weight. And, because you've never asked for help in the past, nobody even thinks that you might be struggling to stay on your feet. You won't admit that you're feeling overwhelmed so you say "Yes" to one more item being added to your pile. And suddenly...you collapse beneath it. And, you begin to realize...

It's not easier to do things alone. It's exhausting. It's overwhelming. It's lonely. And, when you stumble and fall, there's no one around to pick you up and brush you off and set you on your way again.
