I Walk Alone

I Walk Alone

By: Tyler Ross

Where were you when I was locked in my room?

Wishing I could say something soon

No one around with a single care

But as soon as I’m well

You pretend that I am there

Met a lot of people who looked me in the eyes

Told their stories of how they respect

And where they’re loyalty lies

I found it strange when they left but realized

True friends will be there for you

No matter where you’re at in your life

Regrouped several times

And left with empty words inside

Heard every excuse and became a scholar

I walk alone detecting bullshit like a shock collar

Met a lot of people who reached for my hand

Told their stories one moment

And then took off and ran

I found it strange but disengaged

I walk alone in this world

Alone and ready for a change from these days
