Non-Erotic PoetryRamblings of the Lonely ManThe darkness and the gloom
I’m looking at the blank walls
Hoping somebody will call
Waiting for a smiling face
To take me out of this place
All I can see is the emptiness
All I can feel is loneliness
Desperation attacks my heart
And it’s tearing me apart
I just don’t know what I feel
All I know is that’s it’s real
Same damn feelings every day
How can I wipe it away?
I just don’t know how I got so down
When they’re so many new people around
Acquaintances I call my friends
On them through, can I depend?
We get along well but it’s all a game
I like them all so but it’s still the same
I still find myself all alone
Despite the new faces I’ve known
I always seem to fall behind
Then I have to make it up double time
But they’re all set in their ways
And have no room for me to play
What would happen if I cry?
Would everyone pass me by?
What would happen if I was down?
Would anyone bring me around?
Or would they go another way
Because I’m such a problem today?
Maybe the problem is just me
Cause I don’t know who I should be.
Should I go and ask for more
And maybe end up being a whore
Maybe I should wait until they come to me
I’d be alone; that ain’t the key
I could be the fighter but I’d lose the fight
I could be the teacher but I’m not usually right
I could be the leader if I had some more balls
I could be the hero if I would take the fall
I could be the thief but I’d just get caught
I could take the money but I won’t be bought
I’ve got so many feeling which I can always hide
But it does me no good to keep them all inside
I know I should open up but it’s the way I am
I really want to change but I’m a stubborn man
So many people tried to drag me down
So few people have helped me come around
Sometimes all I feel is the desperation
And the loneliness and isolation
I always get hit and knocked to the floor
And I just bounce back, ready for more
But of all the emotions I feel inside
The strongest of them all is . . .
My Pride
