I fear being alone
But hide in the shadows
The light hurts my eyes
So I shut them tight
Living only in my dreams
Trapped in my bed
I long for love
Yet don’t love myself
So how can anyone see?
See the real me
That I hide away
For fear of rejection
I need to step into the light
Seeing the world outside
Knowing and loving myself
So that alone isn’t lonely
But a new happier life
A joy to discover
I want to feel the sun
Finding the joy within myself
Rather than waiting
For my life to begin
No longer lonely
Just happy and alone
