I travel this path with all of my might. <br />By myself, I wont fear the night. <br />Come morning light I hope to see, <br />a joy of the day that pleases me. <br /> <br />I keep my life meager, this I do know. <br />I hold close no one, for I am alone. <br />Though to the passers, I do say hello. <br />Yet, that is as far as I'm able to go. <br /> <br />Some may not handle this life that I lead, <br />but I stand alone, even when I bleed. <br />Many have partners, that's what they do need. <br />My lost lover is only a dream. <br /> <br />I have a brother, a keeper of thoughts. <br />We grew up together, we learned to have not. <br />I was part of a family, though we had faught. <br />I do not miss them, I do not a lot. <br /> <br />In my memories, found will be pain. <br />Though I don't remember who was to blame. <br />I now have no need for profit and gain. <br />I'd rather be watching than joining the game. <br /> <br />I have a secret, you might be surprised, <br />but some days I'm tired and just want to die. <br />Upon my last page, a day I shall die, <br />who will come see me, how many will cry. <br /> <br />My brother says stop, you should not be ashamed. <br />But I will not hear him, I may not regain. <br />I am a rock, some days it's the pain. <br />I wish I could go back and do them again. <br /> <br />If I portray this pain on another, <br />it just is not right, I wish them to recover. <br />To put upon myself, why is it fine, <br />when it's unfair to others, they aren't devine.<br /><br />Todd M Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-328/
