I should've known that this is how it is. I was foolish and naive, hopelessly believing that my family cared at all. Because who else will? I mean what else can anyone expect of a child who was confused by those around her. Those who messed with her head as a mere child and then expected one big happy family. I rebelled thinking it was going to get me somewhere, but all I did was waste my time on things that don't even matter. All I wanted was for someone to understand me and stand by me. That's what anyone would want, especially a child. But I went through it alone and when I finally got through to the other side, I found no one there to welcome me. I realized that I am truly on my own here.
I know now that it's always been you. Even when everyone turned their backs on me, when everyone moved on without me, you waited patiently for me until I came back to you. You are the source of all that is good. You were always there for me and you alone know me, even better than I know myself. I was chasing after worldly things that would never acknowledge me or accept me. I realize that this world is a dark and cruel place, and you're my only refuge while I endure it. I belong to you and to you I shall return.
