Alone

For most of my life, I've been on a quest

To discover just who I might be,

Earnestly searching, day after day,

So desperate to recognize me.

I've felt moments of utter fulfillment

And moments I couldn't go on,

But I knew for the sake of my heart and my soul,

To succeed, I would have to be strong.

But the people around me seemed so lost themselves

That I feared I might be on my own.

But then there'd be someone who would reach out and help

And remind me I wasn't alone.
