Alone

Faces and figures ,
Faint in the distance.
I want to walk up there
But I decide not to.
I can tell that I’m unwanted.
Unneeded.
Unvalued.
I take a step forward and some of those heads turn.
I should just keep going, but I can’t.
I stop and decide to turn the other way.
Those faces and figures much rather that I went the other way.
I did as they asked, without the words even spoken.
A sole being I shall remain.
The earth placed me here as one, and I shall leave as one.
Faces and figures, they’ll always be faint in the distance.
