I told myself 

I can stand to be alone 

I know what its' like, how it feels 

To have no one

However many times I repeated myself 

I grew to see how much I never wanted to be alone 

I can stand on my own two feet forever 

But I didn't want to live that life by choice 

If I could have what I wanted

I'd chose to rest in silence with someone 

To have the peace of a single being 

And feel the comfort of another not too far from a distance 

Hope is a marvelous word 

That changes countries 

Changes people 

Changes perspective 

The only thing that gives people the heart to bear the weight of it all 

Then to go back and have to fall

I don't fear being alone 

I fear hope
