The moment it sets in
Feeling like you can no longer win
You try and you try and you try
Wanting it to just pass you by
But reality sinks in
You can't win
You're alone
And you've failed
Not by trying
But by being
Alone
The word
On its own
Is something you fear
But continually hear
And it's okay
You say it over and over
Getting used to the sound
Starting down at the ground
Not feeling of worth
Alone on this earth
And it's okay
You want it to be okay
You wish it away
This sadness and gloom
Bringing nothing but doom
And soon you will feel
Something real
But for now
It's just you
On your own
And it's okay
Just don't let it carry you away
