The night is at peace.
The birds are sleeping,
The sun has set...
However my mind keeps racing.

Thinking
Wondering
Dreaming...

All while I'm still awake.
I think of all the good I've done.
All the people I've helped,
Placed a smile on their faces.
Reassured them.
Loved them.
Given them pieces of my heart and soul.
I think of all the memories I've made.

Laughter
Smiles
Friendships
Love

Then I think of all the bad...
The things I never said.
The times I could have stood up for myself.

Yelling
Fighting
Heartbreak

I think of the times when I've felt alone.
Wondering if people hated me.
Thinking about how no one would ever love me.

Alone
Forgotten
Unloved

And yet....

It doesn't destroy me.
I may feel alone, unloved, unwanted,
But I know thats not true.

I will find my person someday.
I have my friends and family who

Support me
Notice me
Love me

My worries and fears are like the night sky.
Filled with darkness and silence.
Yet....

There are still stars that shine bright.
Bright enough to give me hope that the darkness will pass.

Eventually leading to a sunrise..
And the light of a new day.

A new beginning
A brighter beginning


Full of hope
