Alone
In a shadowy room
Wondering,
Why me
Internally,
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Asking myself
Why does this keep happening to me
Failing more and more people everyday
Criticising myself for them leaving
Wondering,
What I did wrong
Or what I did right

I hear a voice,
As soothing as music
Calling out to me
A warm light appears
Holding out a helping hand
To pull me out of the shadows
The shadows in my own head
Filling my mind with comforting light
For the first time in a long time
I’m not alone anymore
The internal screaming
Fades away
I become more relaxed,
Like a newborn baby in its mother's arms

I follow the leading light as it guides me
Out of the shadows
Finally free, like a convict out of prison
Free from loneliness
Free from darkness
Free from everything
That was slowly consuming me
