‘ Standing alone doesn’t mean I am alone, it means I am strong enough to handle things all by myself,’ - Unkown.


Surrounded by people

Yet utterly alone 

Drowning in a sea of fears

Loved ones made strangers by pain

Strangers made strange by pain 

There is no light in this place

No warmth

Yet I feel alive in the fact that it’s cold

Alive in the fact that I’m alone

I wrote this in a very sad moment and then edited it after. I don’t want you to think it is about sadness though, I want to know what it means to you.
