I stand alone

a poem by Deeksha Marur

The world seems so blurry to me
With everyone turning their backs on me
I stand alone
Facing all my fears and shedding tears

I stand alone to face the world
I stand alone walking aimlessly on the never ending road
I stand alone fighting the cold wintery storm that’s starting inside of me
I stand alone, in the middle of the road,
The road that takes me to my unknown future and reminds me of the past

I stand alone trying to figure out what to do with life
I stand alone for the fear of being with someone,
Someone who will love me and care for me, for the person I am
I stand alone to wait for what life brings to me

I stand alone while people come and go in front of me
I stand alone as my life’s going hay-wire and everything’s topsy-turvy
I stand alone, learning to fight my fears,
To live with myself
And see what life gives and where life takes me!

I stand alone, although I look weak my heart is strong and willing to move on!
