Walking Alone

How do you know

What you’re supposed to do

When every time you do something

Something else falls through

How do you know

What you’re supposed to say

When every time you talk

Someone else gets in your way

Your days are full

Your nights are humble

Your dreams are all the same

Barely ever do you dare to mumble

Nothing feels right

Nothing feels good

You feel like you need to escape

But don’t know if you should

You feel so alone

Trapped inside a world of pain

The days drag on

But still you have no name

You bury your emotions

Hide them from the rest

You do it so well

Some would say you’re the best

You walk down a long street

Filled with darkness and shame

People watch you there

But no one knows your name

It’s a secret held within you

One so dear you cannot say

A secret only you would know

To bring out all dismay

If only you could tell the world

What you really feel

Then maybe they would call out to you

And they would help you heal

But lest you walk along this path

Waiting for the right time

That someone will walk up to you

And clean you of your grime
