i thought i was the only one
i was afraid
to be alone
i looked around
to set my soul free
to dance across the silence
to give my long-held burden
to the wind
to dance across the silence
to be found
i opened my eyes
my heart
to the uniqueness
that might wash over me
if i surrendered to empathy
learned to listen
i wasn’t created to be alone
i will walk in the light of friendship
i am not alone
