On a quiet street,
I wander
through flickers
of vibrancy,
searching for
connection—
yet distance
remains,
as though no one truly
understands me.
Still,
I keep walking,
until the noise fades
and I reach the deepest
part of myself.
There, I speak gently
to my own soul
and realize:
I am not alone.
—
I am enough.
—
I am okay
with myself.
