Timothy Mattson Poet Rhyme

Alone Among Many

I've traveled this long, winding road
    Through life mostly alone.
Yet while the solitude has granted some peacefulness,
    At times I wish I had someone to call my own.

The reality is that it's a self-imposed solitary confinement,
    There's simply no one else to blame.
So this has caused me to enjoy my own company,
    And to many others, that's just a shame.

Sometimes, I've been known to even talk to myself,
    But if I didn't do that, who else would there be to listen?
As I stroll the streets, both near and far,
    While humanity observes my condition.

So whether by myself, or amongst a crowd,
    The path I follow will always come to an end.
Where this individual journey carries all the meaning,
    And those who are attentive, might even learn, and then ascend.
