Matt Forshay Poet Lyric

Now I Am Alone

As young man I thought I was the only one
Without me nothing could be done
But as I grew, I was taught a thing or two 
As time went by
I began to see myself 
Through other peoples eyes
I thought that I was living such an unstoppable life
It took being alone to see the mistakes that were made  

A whole life 
Drifting along 
Going the wrong way
Now I am alone

I thought that I was the only one in town
She would never leave
No one could do any better
So I turned my back and told her to wait
I needed to do things my way 
I'm not the one after all

A whole life 
Drifting along 
Going the wrong way
Now I am alone

I thought those who were close 
Would never leave
So I cared about no one 
Again I was the only one
I never thought about anything
or anyone but it needed to be done my way
Why should anyone stay?

A whole life 
Drifting along 
Going the wrong way
Now I am alone

In my darkest hour 
A day near death
They all came to my side
After a tragedy
I thought no one would leave
Again only thinking about myself
Not caring for or appreciating anyone else
everyone left.
Now I see why
I am left alone

Funom Makama May 27, 2015 at 7:32 AM I came across a prestigious list of the top 100 most published poets here and I am not surprise. Your quality indeed goes hand in hand with your quantity. I'll check one or two more of your works because this has given me a unique satisfaction. I give you a handshake of a definite 7!
