Alone

Open your eyes and embrace the darkness around you
You are alone but this feeling is brand new

This is not a feeling of isolation and despair 
This is not a feeling that you need to beware

You are once again becoming whole 
You are regaining life and repairing your soul

There will be no more self loathing and insecurity
You will be born again and your heart bathed in purity

You are not a worthless being 
Relinquish your fears and grab the time that is fleeing

Give all that you have to offer and don't hold back anything 
Be someone full of life that isn't afraid to swing

Reach for the moon and all of your dreams
Explore all of the lows and all of the extremes

You are worth so much more than you give credit for
You are worthy for someone to cherish and adore

Be all of you and never sell yourself short
Offer yourself your time, love and, support

Yes, you are alone
but step back and look how much you've grown
