Array ( [sid] => 135652 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Alone [time] => 2007-06-30 18:50:35 [hometext] => By: Todd Davidson, toddmdavidson.com [bodytext] => I travel this path, with all of my might
by myself, I wont fear the night
come morning light, I hope to see
a joy of the day ,that pleases me

I keep my life meager, this I do know
I hold close no one, for I am alone
though to the passers, I do say hello
yet that is as far, as I'm able to go

Some may not handle, this life that I lead
but I stand alone, even when I bleed
many have partners, that's what they do need
yet my lost lover, is only a dream

I have a brother, a keeper of thoughts
we grew up together, we learned to have not
I was part of a family, though we had faught
I do not miss them, I do not a lot

In my memories, found will be pain
though I don't remember, who was to blame
I have no need, for profit and gain
I'd rather be watching, than joining the game

I have a secret, you might be surprised
but some days I'm tired, and just want to die
upon my last page, a day I shall die
who will come see me, how many will cry

My brother says stop, you should not be ashamed
but I will not hear him, I may not regain
I am a rock, some days it's the pain
I wish I could go back, and do them again

If I portray, this pain on another
it is just not right, I wish them to recover
to put upon myself, why is it fine
when it's unfair to others, they aren't devine

A very wonderful share and an excellent piece of poetry. Put well with inner truth and the acceptance of your feelings.
You sound like alone is just fine, and safe with no risks....and indeed it is.
The reality of life: first love thyself and then you can surely love another.
This being the wisdom take the risk to let go and love....love your writing....love your pen....go on to love the day.....then love the people....we are starving for love.....love us.
You'll soon love loving....and even might fall in love with yourself.....and loving self is the bestest! See what feelings your wonderful piece spurred from my heart...are you not magnificent???Indeed you are.
