Alone

Alone

To be an outcast loner
To never really fit 
To wander on your own
Not a tourist not a bit

To walk on the narrow path
To take counsel from no one
To smile when others laugh
Content to be alone

To live in a crowded city
But really on your own
To never look for pity 
But the girl has surely flown ?
