Alone

I look left, then look right, but yet there is no one around. 

Go through the options in my mind and no one is to be found.

How did I end up in this place? I really thought I tried.

The support I myself have given out in return has been denied.

I think I have missed a person to ask, there’s someone I must have left behind.

Yet here I am in this place, messages left seen yet no response I find.

I’ve loved being in big spaces, extending my all when it’s been asked.

But when my desire for it to be reciprocated, I’m aware people seem to leave fast.

I don’t really have answers. This I know because my heart has surely searched.

For the love that I so openly give, the return feels like it’s deserved.

The valley is deep, and the challenge is rough when I see the mountain yet to climb.

But deep down, I know the biggest battle I need to fight is the one that’s in my mind.

How do I sit in the darkness alone, find hope and not despair? 

I must conclude that solitude is my strength even though the possibilities seem scarce.

Remember, go back, you’ve fought hard things before.

Even when it feels like you’re facing this alone, it’s bravery that’s aroused at your core.

You’ve done it once, actually think, well, it’s been many times in fact. 

The perseverance, the fight within you, it’s still intact.

So take heart my brave soul even though the path ahead brings fear.

Because you’ve conquered many trials and all those moments, lessons have brought you to this place, right here.
