On this road that I am walking
By my young and lonesome self,
I see not a single guide-sign,
Yet I keep moving on.
Where are my companions I'd been with for so long,
Who left me for my brother, who left me with this song?
Oh when, where, how, did I go wrong?
Carrying a napsack full of doubts,
Insecurities that I hide.
I want to go on without them,
But I couldn't if I tried.
I cry out for help but
Nobody hears my plea.
I'm a captive to these walls I've built,
Now not even I can set me free.
I try to express what I really am about,
But I built these walls so strong
That not a word can now get out.
How could the old life I knew
Fade into reality oh so fast?
Every moment I feel more alone,
Every moment I wish was my last.
I search every corner of my cell
For some shred of hope to keep
Me thinking that someone
Will finally comfort me.
Days turn into months,
I no longer try to care,
But my soul ages quicker than I do,
And soon no longer will be there.

I really like the way you express yourself in this poem. I know the feeling of being lonely myself. Sheesh, I am 29 and still not married. How sad is that? Enjoyed the read!
