I walk alone

I am the star with in the corner of the sky
I am the flower blooming when the others die
I am the rain that falls from the ground to sky
I know that cause i walk all so all alone
Like the present given twenty years too late
or the clothes we wear that are so out of date
and the last bird to begin it''s long migrate
I am that way cause i walk alone
My elders think that they should change me
to them I do not measure up
They only want me to be like them
because they think that something's wrong
My views are different than theirs are
I do not think that is so bad
I get to make my own mistakes
and not the same ones that they did
I am the wind that swirls in circles from no where
I am the one who screams and still no one will hear
I am the touchdown thrown for which no one will cheer
I am that way because I walk so all alone
I am the tree that decides to grow upside down
I am the moon that changes tides with in the ground
Though I am not sure of what I am gonna be
I know I will make that choice for me
Note- When I grew up my elders tried to coerce me into being like them (where I lived where I worked etc) and this was my response to them. Today it is still my response to any who would try to force change in any one that does not want to change. It is up to that person to make their own mistakes and to be different so long as they respect others feelings that are different than theirs. I started writing this song 5 or 6 years ago and in a lot of ways it is still unfinished. I do not think it ever will be. (In front of each line that begins I am put the silent words "To you")

It takes a brave mom or pop to let the birds fly wh's time.
A very good write even tho sad.
Normal is just a setting on the dryer so I've spent a life time trying to break the mold of normal.
huggs,
emy
I too walk alone by choice. |

Well written. I like the many comparisons drawn. I also know the feeling, for I have grown up with a parent who seeks to control and shape me into a mold that I cannot fit into. It hasn't been easy, but this healthy kind of defiance, born of wisdom rather than pride, helps. Keep it up.
