I Walk Alone



Here i stand, before a very long and most familiar path.
for its the only path i've ever known.

its clear to me that this is the path i am destined to take.
and i must walk it alone.

on this path there will be no one to walk with. it'll only be me.
not a single person. not a single soul for as far as the eye can see.

i am walking now. down a path where no one will dare to follow.
not a single soul. not even my own shadow.

it is finally clear to me, that i was meant to be alone.
so i'll continue to walk this path. and forever i shal walk alone.

i'm just a simple man. a loner. a shadow beyond mere existence. i follow one path and one path only... the path of loneliness hoping to find a purpose. have i found it yet? i hope to. but until then, my path shal stay the same. more…
