learn how to be with yourself
to inhale and exhale
learn how to sit in silence
and feel the comfort of solitude
without the panicked illusion of loneliness.
in a room crowded with people
even the closest friends,
one can still feel the disconnect.
Let the fear wash over you
along with the joy
take each moment as it comes
every morning look in the mirror
and say "I love you"
don't fight your beautiful mind
or shame your perfect body
come home to yourself
you are your only home
