Being Alone

I've always been alone
For as long as I can remember
No one to vent on
And no one to call a friend

Having no one is
Like being in the
Darkness, left to rot
Left to choke upon
The oppressing darkness

But in the distance
Is a speck of light
I fought towards it
My only goal that
I feel is worth fighting for

I reach the light and
For the first time
I feel the warmth of friendship
Pushing through the light
I emerge to see
Smiling faces of people that I know
Reaching out to help me up
It appears that I'm not
As alone as I thought I was
