I feel like I’m alone Though I do attempt to join In a private world of people Where I’d like to call my own My ramblings sound so sparse I cannot put in to words The thoughts in my mind When I try they seem absurd I come across as feeble Simple-minded and tongue-tied I’d like to be acknowledged Though that bridge’s too long and wide Just when I think I find a niche or slot somewhere Something stops me in my tracks And makes me painfully aware I am alone in this world No-one can guide nor care I have to make it on my own Maybe occasionally share.
