Us Against the World

Us Against the World 

    I know that I haven't been active in quite awhile, I've been navigating a new feeling...happiness. I met my someone and he means the world to me. He is kind, he is funny and he is caring. This is the inspiration for this poem.

I used to think I was a loner, a stray, a meant for no-oner,

Independence was the goal, who'd I strive to be. 

I was stronger than others because I needed nobody,

truth is, I was broken, I just couldn't see.

This person happened into my path,

he broke down my guard. How could that be?

I was scared at first, he'd see me as weak.

This is happening, this just isn't me!

My mind starts racing, 100 miles a minute,

I'm falling apart, doesn't anyone see?

He grasps my hand and holds my heart,

I now love this feeling:

ME is now WE!
