Alone

Alone, I'm alone in life and in love, also in luck.

I spent my life in one home after another, never staying to long to know anyone,

or love them, or they me.

That's ok, I don't need anyone, I'm happier on my own.

I can take care of me, and only me.

I lived alone my whole life,

Even when I was with a family, I was alone,

I took care of myself, why bother?

I was going to leave anyway, Forget about it.

I've never had a real family, a mom, dad or any siblings.

My parents died when I was 6, but they weren't worth crying over.

So, when I joined this team, I was amazed at how quickly we became a family,

Like we were what we all were looking for.

The missing hole, or holes in our hearts, being slowly filled by each other.

We were a family, no matter how hard we denied it.

We were a family and we loved it,

Even if we pretended to hate each other.

We were a family and always will be.

So, now I realize that I'm not so alone, after all!
