Alone at home

Most people think home is a place to go after a long day

A bed to lay on or perhaps a shoulder to cry on.

To me, it’s more feeling whole when life

is taking its toll on your tired soul

When you feel it’s okay to be alone;

When you feel you don’t really need a warm hug

when you’re freezing to the bone.

When you feel you can hold your own

The feeling of not having to constantly pick up the phone.

When you don’t need another soul to make you feel better

because the person in the mirror is enough

When you finally feel okay

in your own solitude

When you realise you don’t need another to have

the feeling of truly being valued.
