ALONE

ALONE

I stay alone,

Thoughts spinning in my head.

Thoughts that aren't shared;

That fill me up with dread.

I stay alone,

Feelings racing through my heart.

Feelings I did not start,

Nor can I cause to depart.

I stay alone,

Burdened but smiling.

Smiling and sighing,

For problems are piling.

I stay alone,

Encased in doubt.

Would the future turn out

Bright or plagued with drought?

I stay alone,

Plotting ways and devices,

Picking virtues, dropping vices,

To become better than what my life is!

And so while alone I saw,

That thoughts both bright and scary,

Even the best discovery,

All come while we are solitary!
