I walk alone

A poem that I started writing after reading a short excerpt in introduction of one book. I never though that some parts of it will the next day become true for me. I hope you can find something in it too.

        

I walk alone

 

Who is it standing in my way

is it you again

despair?

 

is it you

my old foe?

no

you are somebody else

 

many had crossed my path

many followed me

many tried to sway me off

 

I walk alone

 

long is my road

filled with many

memories and nightmares

 

I know my destination

I build my road there

I never stop

I can't stop

 

You who stands before me

what is your purpose

you want to walk with me?

 

I walk alone

 

you shine

like the golden moon

are you hope?

 

are you the light

that guided me?

through the darkness

in my past

 

but I'm not a knight

I'm not a saint

I'm not the same

 

I walk alone

The idea alone is depressing. Nonetheless, this is well-written. The lines are short but each one is meaningful and has something to say and some emotion to pour out. I don't know if I find something worth mentioning here, but what I think about it is that your poem mirrors an emotion that most people really feel from time to time. It's a combination of insecurity and blindness that makes us sometimes think that we walk alone. Over all, such wonderful poem.

Keep Writing. ^___^

First I wish to say..I thought this a very good write..Although .. I think walking alone is fantasy..because really someone or something is always .. pushing us even if it is the past.. if for a moment we could really walk alone..what would that feel like..I mean really alone .. no judgement .. forseen or looked back on..anyhow this is about the poem..It works for me.

I like this poem... and agreeing with Gandr� on the "are you hope". A suggestion based on that line, I would take the last "I walk alone" so that there is an open question to are you really alone or do you now have some sort of hope to keep you company. My brain may not be fully working now so i dont know if i got the right word out hah!

Nice poem. =)
