Alone

Stars shine brightly as the leaves crunch under my feet
I breathe in the cool night air
I'm alone, something I've always wanted
To be alone is to be free
To not have priorities
To have dreams, not nightmares
Where the fear of failure treads
And commitment stands
So here I stand, quiet and peaceful
In a night full of stars and silence
Where my heart is light and so are my feet
In a moment where I realize
Maybe I don't want to be alone.
