I Was In That Boat Until I Was Rescued Poem by Anna Pine

most people don't know what it's like to be not just lonely but truly alone. most have never known what it is like to be nothing.

to those who know that feeling like it's an old friend, always there around the corner, only poking its head out when you start to smile and have a good day-
i say sorry.
i know what its like

but it does get better once you find your people to pull you out of the reach of that old friend

sometimes there is comfort in being nothing, hiding in the shadows can be safe, the shadows can hide imperfections

in the arms of another its so much safer and life gets easier when your imperfections are loved.
