How to Live

I sat by myself alone in the dark

afraid it would consume me.

I felt a fear, a fear so loud

I thought that it might kill me.

I called out into the universe

hoping someone might hear me cry,

but no one came to rescue me

and for years I never knew why.

But then there was love.

Powerful, mighty, strong.

Now I know the time I spent alone

was because I was living wrong.
