To stand alone is difficult To battle alone is almost impossible I’ve been called strong, but it’s hard to be strong alone I’m tired of keeping my head up high by myself The amount of times I’ve pleaded to my fathers grave to help me be strong I know I may be more privileged than others but no one should have to stand alone No one stands by my side No one backs me up I have no one And yet here I stand alone; trying to make it through today, then tomorrow, and the next Trying to what’s right Trying to not seek for approval Trying to pursue my dreams But yet I feel as if I’m on an island, team of one Even though I have people behind me Ever since last year I never reach out And so I continue to be a team of one.
