a lonely refrain

In each choice I've made, a pattern it seems,
People drifting away or shattering my dreams.
Seeking love, was it merely attention I craved?
Feeling like a ruthless kid, my emotions enslaved.

A black rose in life, I've known little affection,
Wishing for beauty, seeking love's resurrection.
But self-harm is not the answer, not the way to heal,
I'll rediscover my worth, learn how to truly feel.

In a world that feels empty, with no one by my side,
Those who claimed to be here, in the cosmos, they reside.
Support has eluded me, a hand never lent,
I've been no one's priority, my heart's lament.

But in the quiet moments, strength I will find,
For within my own heart, my worth is defined.
Though alone I may be, in myself I'll confide,
I'll rise above the darkness, with unwavering stride.

I believed I stood alone, with no one to confide,
But I awakened to the truth, the illusion set aside.

Watching my watch, I've learned it's never too late to decide,
To seize the moment, As I exhale, may it be my final breath's cast.
