Survivor

Alone on an island

Alone in my mind

Why can't they hear me?

Why are they blind?

I speak silent words to long deafened ears

I hold back emotion with unshed tears

I sit and I ponder of where this must be

Am I a mirage?

Is this really me?

"Who are you"?, they asked

I couldn't reply

I had not an answer

Idid not know why

I've searched and I've searched in the depths of my head

Am I a survivor or one of the dead

"A whole world is waiting", they simply replied

"It's yours for the taking if you can decide"

That's when I knew somewhere deep in my heart

There is never an ending, unless there is a start

So, I have discovered alone in my thoughts

"You" never find "You" unless you have sought

The reason for being

The reason you're here

You can be the huge ocean, or just one tiny tear
