'Am I Alone?' A short poem..

Am I alone?

Every person, everything, every relationship may seem brave and indestructible; but not any one of them will survive.

I learnt that the hard way, and hope I am now wise.

As the Sun sets, so shall it rise.

The Moon, with the stars, has its share of glory.

But the Sun, even though alone, surely has its own story.

Lovers may move forward while others may fall behind.

But we all have our own destined paths; no matter how entwined.

I was a flower; once trampled upon by many a creature.

I needed to grow my roots again; receive love, light and care.

But unfortunately you couldn’t be there.

I needed to save myself from this unforgiving world.

I needed to be strong; sadly you couldn’t go along.

However the real question remains; did I break my own heart?

Because I couldn’t put back the pieces in time when it all fell apart?

But as my story unfolds, I realize I needed to re-discover myself; my self-worth, my dignity, my identity from within.

I needed to let go of those who would impede my growth again.

I learnt that I am alone in the end; that is why I needed to learn to be me again.

Self love and self preservation is thus crucial for one’s beautiful, unique soul.

You and I are worth it, and need to be independently happy and whole on our own.

Because in the end, dear friend, we shall always be alone.

(Last night I was feeling particularly low and emotional. I didn't know who to talk to so instead I started writing in my journal (Journaling is another tool I will blog about later). Before I knew it my feelings and emotions took the form of a poem. I felt so much better after that! So there you have it folks; yet another tool. Just simple writing or writing poetry to release your emotions in a healthy way, especially when you might not have someone to talk to. You are your own best friend. So take care of your best friend!)
