We Are One

There was a time when I stood alone,

A quiet soul, a heart of stone,

Afraid to speak, afraid to feel,

Lost in a world that seemed unreal.

I wore my silence like a shield,

In a battle I refused to yield,

But somewhere deep, I knew the truth—

We’re meant for more than fear, for youth.

I thought I was the only one,

Fighting battles that were never won,

Until I saw your face, your eyes—

The same doubts, the same disguise.

In you, I found a familiar ache,

A yearning for the change we make,

Together, we could heal the scar,

Together, we could reach that star.

We are not islands in the sea,

We are the waves, the melody.

Each crack, each scar, each broken piece,

Is part of us, a shared release.

I see you now, and you see me,

A connection, deep and free.

No longer bound by fear and shame,

We walk together, not the same.

The weight we carry, once so grand,

Is lighter now, with open hands.

For you are not my foe, my fight,

But the light that makes the dark feel right.

I reach for you, and you reach back,

A lifeline found in every crack.

Through all the pain and all the loss,

We rise together, no matter the cost.

We are more than just our fears,

More than every drop of tears.

We are the strength that comes from pain,

The promise that we’ll rise again.

So when you fall, when you feel small,

I’ll be there to catch it all—

For in this life, this truth I’ve found:

We are not alone, we’re all unbound.

You and I, together we stand,

Connected by the same strong hand.

And though the world may change and bend,

We’ll find our way, we’ll find the end.

For in this love, this bond so pure,

I know that we will both endure.

No longer lost, we’ve found our song—

Together, we are where we belong.
