Worth Fighting For

The sunlight falls on my bed 

illuminating both my comfortable peace and loneliness.

i lay basking in the warmth and emptiness

reminiscing of times when my bed and heart were shared.

how similar it was yet I didnt notice the sun

nor appreciate it as much

Now the sun exposes the emptiness, 

the emptiness exposing the sun.

slowly, sadness fades and delight appears.

the delight of being alone with my sunshine — 

the rays and light that are meant just for me.

i am grateful to be here, where i am

with only myself and the nature 

that fights its way through the city 

to be with me.
