Comfort in Darkness

It was so hard

Learning to find comfort

In being alone

Although I was that way

So often

But once I learned to be happy

All by myself

Even the darkness

Was less frightening

My Company

The hardest thing to do

After the breakup

With my own company

I put back up that revolving door

But no one came through them

Countless pointless conversations

Begging for someone to join me

It drove me crazy

That I was so desperate for attention

It would have kept going on

Had I not realized

That my company was sacred

I needed to get to know myself

And that’s what I did

Rising Above

Or those around you now

You need to be better than yourself

It’s up to you to find the ways how
