Perfectly Alone

Anonymous

I’ve recently realized my life.
It’s one I cannot change.
I’ve recently realized that I’m alone,
And with that I’m filled with rage.

​

Kick all the chairs,
Break all the windows.
No one will help me.
What is this pain? No one knows.

​

Imperfectly human, perfectly me.
Before me I could not be.
Now I carry a tape measure on my keys.
Gain confidence with the little things.

​

I’m alone, but I’m me.
I’m okay with this.
You forget what you love,
Because it’s what you miss.

​

You’re going to be okay.
I know this is true,
Because to change life around,
It starts with real you.
