Loneliness...

Is a powerful motivator. It can make you question your worth, your power, yourself.

Tears streaming down your face, thoughts racing through your head.

What's wrong with me? Am I too intense, too open, too closed, too quiet, too fat, too short, too...

the list goes on.

And then- a thought that challenges all the others. But we push that one away only to continue the cycle of "am I enough?"

I am so dizzy from all the circles I spin in my head.

I cared for an illusion. The illusion of heart, the illusion of a smile, the fake sincerity, the ease of it all.

An illusion of real and illusion of soul.

You were only there to reveal you.

The illusion was you.
