Sanctuary

Alone was once a fearful thought

A daunting place

Loneliness whispered

Darkness embraced

One step at a time

A journey of self-discovery

Now treasured

A solace, a sanctuary

Every moment cherished

In solitude’s embrace

Won’t kill me

But strengthen

A newfound grace

In the quiet

In the peace

Comfort is found

Too short to dwell in misery

Life’s true grand


I really used to latch on to everyone I could. I thought that I couldn't be alone, that I wasn't capable of being independent, and that my worth was defined by someone else loving me. I now find myself wondering how I would even fit someone into my life. I wonder how I could ever fully be myself with someone, now that I'm finally getting so comfortable with myself. I love myself. I love who I'm working on becoming, and I love how I've overcome so much, with such minimal support, while feeling lonely and abandoned. I love how I found my own worth, and despite everyone I "Loved" continually telling me my life didn't matter, I found a way to pull myself out, and I continue to pull myself out, and rely on myself for my needs and my wants. Being alone will not kill you. It may feel like it sometimes, but it won't.
