One Day

I can still stand. Even when there is no place to call ground. I can smile. Even if I,m the only one I can laugh. Even while I,m crying inside. I can feel. yes even with a broken heart. I can play. Before and after each day. I can sing. As the wind carriers my voice away. and I can fly. Even when darkness clouds the sky. I am strong. even while hurt. Broken but not useless. Used but not without worth. Alone but not forgotten. Masquerading in false happiness. living between pain and self hate. Self worth a theme I can only imitate. Wasting away in the realm of life. Disappearing piece by piece. No longer believing in my own heart. Needing another s hand to get a new start. Perhaps one day their will be hope. Yes one day.

It's very hard being alone. I do know the answer but I don't listen to myself as often as i should..maybe you will? Being alone is a decision, go out and find people to BE WITH volunteer, go to diner and ask some one else who's sitting alone if they'd like comapny? Tutor children, help the elderly? BIG HUGS Light & Love
