I saw myself
As almost nothing;
A mere atom in between earth and the seemingly never ending galaxy.
Meanings and purpose was self-defined,
And the world just seemed a tad bit bleak.
The trees, grass, and even sky
Would lack color and the saturation in which I see them in now.

There were many nights
Where I cried alone,
And many days where I questioned
My true nature and belonging.
If this world was meant for me,
Or if I was meant to last in it,
Not a day would go by where
I would not doubt myself.

I find you every day,
Waiting for me.
Smiling with a joy I have not experienced,
And being excited for my presence.

I may feel my nature lack at dire moments,
But it would be a lie if I had said
You do not rejuvenate the very core
That loses power when I am alone.

You bring me a strength
That I cannot foresee,
A strength that I am grateful to have.
