I Will
I finally understand.
I know unequivocally that there is no one out there for me.
There is no knight in shining armor riding desperately with hell at his back to save me.
There is no soulmate, crossing the burning blistering sands of time to find me.
There is no great love endlessly and tirelessly trying to heal my sorrow on this endless plain of our existence.
With a broken heart I regretfully and painfully except this as my fate.
At the end of the day, when the sun has set, I must save myself or be lost.
I will find myself in whatever void has consumed me, and I will pull my own self from the darkness.
I will bandage my own wounds and piece together my shattered soul.
I will stand, I will rise up and defend my worth though I do not yet believe in it.
From the ashes of the fires of their disbelief, I will rise and be more than I was.
I will reignite the light within myself that I almost allowed to be extinguished, and it will burn brighter than it ever has before.
This I swear I will.
