The Luxury of Being Alone

I didn't text, I didn't speak
I watched the silence slowly peak
No plans, no noise, no borrowed time
Just me and thoughts I called mine

The world was loud, but I stepped aside
And found a truth I used to hide

There's a luxury in being alone
In hearing echoes of your own soul
The world fades out, the soul turns bright
And darkness dances into light

Three times I saw myself anew
Not through mirrors, but through truth
I wasn't lost, just undiscovered
A self I hadn't yet uncovered

And in the depths of quiet fear
I saw a flame begin to clear

There's a luxury in being alone
In hearing echoes of your own
The world fades out, the soul turns bright
And darkness dances into light

So now I seek the sacred space
Where I can meet my own embrace
Alone, not empty, I am whole
In silence, I return to soul
