Alone

I am alone
For the first time in my life
Before, I was a child
Then I became a wife

Now, I am alone
Living in a new place
Where there is only me
And no one knows my face

Sometimes I feel very alone
Wondering if I’ve made a mistake,
Am I out of my mind?
Is my future really mine to make?

Yet, I find in being alone
I am finding the real me
I am learning about who I am
I am finally feeling free
