Analysis of In The Darkness And Alone
If I could go back and write,
in all the places that I lived
I wonder if I left memories there,
or stories that I hid
If I could travel back in time,
one question to atone
Is part of me still orphaned there,
—in darkness and alone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
