In the quiet of the night,
Where shadows dance with dimming light,
I find myself, just me, alone,
A world apart, a place unknown.
No voices call, no footsteps near,
The silence wraps, a blanket sheer.
I wander through my thoughts so deep,
In solitude, my soul does keep.
The stars above, they softly gleam,
A distant, cold, eternal dream.
They watch me with their ancient eyes,
Reflecting truths and whispered lies.
In loneliness, I seek my truth,
A journey inward, back to youth.
To understand, to find my way,
Through empty nights and lonesome days.
Yet in this space, I learn to grow,
To face the fears I’ve yet to show.
For in the end, I find my peace,
In solitude, my soul’s release.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
