The Loner (POEM)



I have been two people my whole life

One I show the world and the other I keep to myself

For only I can understand her

She is this incredible human being that is self sufficient and assured

She had no one but her to elevate and affirm her

With these four arms and legs I walked and lived

With only split seconds to decide whom I will show

The loner in me just loves that solitude that life has offered

But the other sometimes just craves that simple caress from another

As my other face just cringes at the other of what I could let go

An entire universe of mine constructed by my only words and actions

That stands on the hinges of my every stumbling steps

Reaching out to a certain life means to erase half of me

I want both. The ecstasy of companionship and the amazing solo ride

I held back to what everybody called fulfillment

For I know not what my heart could prompt me to do

I am a loner and fate was never generous to show me what I was missing out

And so, I took the wheel and drove into the sun set

It is childish to put a period on what The Omni never deemed it to be

But for my sake I chose her, for she is what I have ever known

She is the only I knew who could handle and bare

For people only had opinions but she had consolation

I am sorry to the Better that could have smiled to someone else

But instead chose to have this conversation with herself

My apologies, Mr. no one that I am depriving you of a skipping heart

I am selfish and learned the hard way to be

I am on the road now

Towards what? I don’t know, but alone I am certain

I chose the shore than the ever-growing horizon

Every day is a daily reminder of that one question… if I chose right?

But I can only be certain that for now, I chose me.
