Loner

I am a Loner, not because
no family or friends
But because I am trying 
to find the right place.

I am a Loner, since 14 years of age
Before that never had much friends
But at least I was happy
I was enjoying videogames, dreams and myself.

Somehow different, somehow retracted
I was just like any other kid
Wondering if there was that one right person
Who could pretty much resemble me.

I am a Loner, life has made me like this
It just happened when I never expected
Maybe I was living in a fantasy world
Maybe tragedy or destiny made me become one.

I am a Loner, places are what you make of it
There is no prosperity in where I am
So I have to move somewhere else
And accept whatever awaits me out there.

I am a Loner, not because I enjoy it
But because I learnt how to be one
"Family" and "friends" eventually forget about you
People need people, happiness and fulfillment
will not always depend only on you.

I am a Loner, Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Another walk in the night
Silence is my only companion
Life itself is definitely not bad
But we must always follow our hearts.

Rejection and betrayal might face you
But we must always move ahead
so we can improve ourselves
Life continues, there is a whole world out there.

There was no right or wrong
Because new perspectives are born
Sometimes we choose to be alone
In order to avoid what destroys our souls
But it doesn´t really matter though
As long as we adapt and move along.       4/6/2022.
