The Flame That Led Me Home

Sometimes, we feel like we're devoid of love and companionship and keep seeking it. This generally happens more to people who suffer from abandonment issues. Instead of cherishing the love they have at the moment, they keep searching for more, under appreciating or failing to see the love they have at present. So obsessed humans are to get rid of loneliness. They fail to realize that an escape from loneliness does not happen overnight. Neither does it come with marriage. Instead, it comes from within. It is but a matter of perspective.

This is a poem that tells a story of someone like that, who finally realized and began to see. That love and companionship wasn't in a utopia, but right there among them.
