I’m alone,

In the dark, In the silence, In the void

Just me, old memories

Bad memories of moments of

Humiliation, weakness, cowardice, meekness

Moments of regret to regret

Moments to forget but I can’t

But I won’t because they are the shadows that keep me company

But with them I am still alone

They stay forever yet I will always  be alone

They are the reason I am alone

And I sit there, trapped there in my thoughts

In my mind,

And it seems right before I finally drown in my thoughts

I hear it

A single, solitary note

But that is all it takes to shatter the silence

It echoes off through my brain and before I know it there are more,

A soft melody, a soft symphony

They are dancing in my ears, those notes are

They are surrounding me,

Embracing me,

I am not alone

I was never alone

They will always be there,

Those notes, those melodies, those lyrics

And everywhere they touch they bring light

Gradually breaking the darkness I have crafted with my mind

And with that light comes a heat that starts in my heart and spreads through my body

Gradually thawing my soul,

Until I am free of my memories

Free of my mind that kept me in isolation

And once again I am me,

I am free

And once again I feel

Good!
