Poetry: Enlightenment

Here I am all alone and suddenly it is frightening,
Just like when I was a child afraid of thunder and lightening.

I keep looking for that someone to make every thing all right,
And though I search and search, there is not that one in sight.

Maybe I'll just call someone and tell them on the phone,
"Won't you please come over; I don't want to be alone."

But even when I'm with them, they don't fill the empty space.
The yearning still is deep inside and quite a lonely place.

I'm in a long, dark tunnel and I think I'll never see,
But then I finally realized the light is inside me.

No matter whom I search for; no matter what they say,
I have to make me happy. There is no other way.

    Other people's opinions
    Do not define me!

    Only undermine
    My ability
    To choose
    The road less traveled.

    It is they
