Been surviving

Enduring it

All

Gotten through

So many

Years

Alone

Learned to

Satisfy

Myself

Become my own

Friend

Companion

Lover

Forged a new

Union with

Myself

Hammered from the

Years of

Walking empty

Roads

Gone are the

Loneliness

Desperation

Left them behind when I

Learned to

Like

Myself

Knowing I will

Never be

Alone

Always got my

Best friend

Companion

Myself

Tis nice

Being

Content

Happy with

Who

I

Am

Still there are

Bad

Days

Nites when the

Darkness

Closes

In

Still there are

Times

Alone

When breaking bread with

Another person

Sounds

Good

But no longer is it

All

Consuming

Even when it's blackest

I can still

Find my

Smile
