Alone

Have you ever had a thought, its meaning full of clarity?

Finding that when shared with others, being understood; a rarity

Your likes and dislikes thought Lame even amongst your kin

Everyone remembering your defeats, and forgets your wins

A one hundred ton boulder, being pushed up a greasy hill.

Most of those called friends, quick to voice support, very few; actually will

A walk in the park is not as easy as they make it sound

When you are shackled with burdens and facing an uneven ground.

Shoes weighing no less than a ton, same as the monkey on my shoulder

Still holding onto that inner flame, but still seems like it’s getting colder

The voices in my head, screaming in a language that I do not know

The fruit of my labor planted, but still do not grow.

I struggle to be heard, over this life’s muffled tone

I want to completely excepted, as well as left completely alone

It’s when I am alone that I find myself, and the power I possess

Its alone I can understand where I was and map my progress

It is alone that I can listen to the voice in my head, now clearer

It is alone that I can converse with that man in the mirror.

So note that it’s not alone that I fear, But drowning in the sea.

Alone is where I belong, in the search of the one and only Me.
