Am I the only one
craning my head up high
to see the assurance
that this is all temporary?
Am I the only one
clutching my heart in my sleeve
to silence
these voices in my head?
Am I the only one
feeling my way through the dark
to tell myself
that I am enough?
Am I the only one
dying to see tomorrow
would look like
so that I could be ready?
Am I the only one
folding my hands in prayer
to deny myself
the emotions running wild?
Am I the only one
looking into the world
to see a semblance
of happiness?
Am I the only one
draining myself empty?
Am I the only one
searching for peace?
