not so different

I used to think I was so alone

But the more I opened up

The more I understood

You and I are just the same

There was a time I believed

The world was out to get me

And so I hid

Not even realising

How full of fear I was

Anxiety loomed

Like an angry beast

I thought it was so powerful

And would never release me

To freedom

But lately I feel these shackles around me

Letting go

Because deep inside my heart and soul

I know

That others suffer too

I never thought I needed you

And yes, I am old enough to cope

And live alone

But the best I can sometimes feel

Is when I reach out a hand out

To touch

And feel your reality

Because when the walls surrounding us

Come down

I realise

You and I are not

So very different

After all

No we aren’t ever truly alone but echoes (shadows?l of how alone the child once was may continue to haunt us. But we are adults now and lonely feelings do pass.

  Well, so many ran from the scourged of the shadows from the darkness I embrace it with open arms when my time comes to pass.
  
  I will lay to rest with the Darkness it is and always will have home within me
  
  In essence, you could say I am the Dark Guardian the watchful Protector

When your time comes light will embrace you listen to anyone who dies and see what they experience true experience does not lie.
