The Lone Wanderer

The Man stands up

His face covered in dirt,

but covered with pride.

 

Proudly He stands

independent,

but alone.

 

Strongly He walks

stride by stride,

but without companion.

 

Bravely He fights,

battle by battle,

war by war,

but without gain.

 

The Lone Wanderer,

Independent,

Strong,

Ready,

Steady,

Scars over scars,

but not a name to share with.

 

The Lone Wanderer,

he walks alone,

he doesn't need help.

 

The Lone Wanderer,

is he a result of success?

Or is he a result of sadness?

 

The Lone Wanderer

walks against the twilight,

leaving only a shadow.

 

Will you take him as the proud?

Or will you take him as the depressed?

Will you take him as the optimistic?

Or will you take him as a man who accepted destiny and fate.

 

Is He looking into the future?

Or is He looking into the past?

 

Is He thinking of something happy?

Or is He thinking of something He regrets?

 

Every man is a Lone Wanderer,

His duty to find his place in the world,

 

But how will others interpret him?

How will others accept him?

Or must he continue to wonder alone?
