Salute You

Here’s to those that said, they’d always be here,
But I woke to find them gone
And the words that came as promise’s
Vanished with the dawn
I raise my cup to salute you
An acknowledgment of sorts
Knowing they were never worthy
And I deserve so much more.
The wine tells me I’m a loner
Always meant to go as one
As my crystal reflection stares at me
Cast by the setting sun.
I hold my head high
For I stayed the course
Accepting true love
Doesn’t exist anymore
And the moon that bares witness
To every shattered dream
Hangs low in the morning
So paths can be seen
fear not the dark
The moments of despair
For when the sun rises
You’ll see your shadow there
Holding your hand
Pulling you through
no matter what
All you’ve got is you
So square your shoulders
Find your grit
Hear the beat of your drum
This is it
Your life laid before you
You will march on
And your shadow will dance
This is your song.

I’ve always been a deep thinker. Superficial, mediocre conversations will never do. I want the raw, bone deep, authentic version of people. I’ve always expressed myself through writing. The only talent I possess is being able to articulate emotions through written expressions. Strangers comment on how my writing has helped them to realize that they are not alone. They find comfort in knowing that someone out there not only understands, but can put into words, what they feel. I’m an INFJ-E
