"maybe i'm not so alone anymore"

"i've spent so much of my life trapped by unending spirit of loneliness; isolating myself from everyone else so i didn't have to feel like a burden to them. i didn't want to shroud anyone around me in the same darkness that i was in. it took me a long time to realize that maybe i'm not so alone anymore... that i don't have to be alone. that my family and friends were always there for me. their light shielding us from the darkness with love as their sword, they rescued me. maybe i was never alone."
