Walking Alone

The earth so quiet and still The wind so gentle and calm My life ran on chances like the spin of a wheel The drop of a tear on my palm But tonight I walk alone No one to console a breaking heart A push and a shove and now we’re far apart Broken and full of disbelief A body so run down on grief, so be brief Because tonight I know I walk alone A body so crumbled A mind so humbled A smile that tell lies Apologetic words are mumbled Sorry for what? I have no clue That monster so angry with all its crew But guess what, im not sorry for me im sorry for you Tonight of all nights I rather not walk alone The sky so dark with not a star in sight Walking…better yet running through the night Screaming at the top of my lungs of agitation Annoyed and ready to fight out of frustration No one around to take the blow It’s giving me the space to heal and grow Tonight is the night I learn why I walk alone by: Taneia J.
