Alone.

why are all the songs on the radio

always lyrically constructed around me and you

doesn't anyone know how to be alone

is it possible that we have nowhere to go

what if i want to breathe separately

i can't find myself if you're in the way

the words that i think inside of my mind

are completely different from what i say

the shadow i see on the ground

has just two arms, two legs, and a head

isn't that what defines me as i am

or should i really imagine that you're dead

i want to tell everyone how i really feel

not how we, or she, or he should be

the songs i hear convince the world

that it's the group and not the individual we see

well i know you for who you really are

whether you do too is out of my control

i can live this life and still smile to myself

even if i'm completely and utterly alone

Being alone and being comfortable, even confident with it is a sign of great independence. Which is a good thing. However, we all love company and always end up longing for the company of specific someone.

This is beautifully written and I enjoyed the message a great deal.
Excellent piece :)

Bekhi, just shut off the radio, its no use, every song will remind you of the lost love.

Very wonderful poem, thanks for writing it!
Its nice to know, we're not alone.

This is so beautifully woven.. the expression of life.. being... shared or alone.. the desire to to happy no matter what... the courage... You really are a brilliant writer...

[Richard Longbow]

Wow, I love every line. Individuality is a rare thing indeed. I've always disliked group mentality. You did a great job!
