I'm not alone

True Happiness is measured not
with the acquisition of luxuries we want.
True Happiness is measured not
with the power which everyone desires.

The bliss I had
passed for good.
When sorrow found me
and stayed too long.

Four corners of the room
summoned as my witnesses.
With this terrible sadness
And unending loneliness.

Tomorrow is not
another day to meet.
For this sorrowful night
doesn't seem to leave.

Since then, I've thought
I'm not alone
But eventually I saw,
I was living on my own.

This dark sadness I feel,
hindered the reality.
I'm not alone
God is with me.

Author's Note

I wrote this piece while I'm in my room last night, alone. Then suddenly I thought "Where are everyone?" "Am I alone?" "Did they abandoned me?" . Then, out of the blue I realized " I'm Not " "They didn't" "Someone's around for me" .
