Alone I walk,
My bare feet scarred,
From the broken shards.
Alone I walk,
My body slowly failing,
From the weight of this battle I fight.
Alone I walk,
My heart breaking,
From the realization,
That I am not good enough for anyone.
Nobody ever stops me,
From my eternal walk,
Alone.
Nobody ever will,
Because why should they?
