I stand alone - Threnody

People surround me, but they don’t care to know

So I am lord and master of all that is my own

All is done in my belief, within my might

All else that happens is not my fight

Words made hollow, a world made shallow

Mine is the pledge, but now I feel, I’ve lost the edge

I stand alone in this cold life

So much is there to make mine

Many mountains left to climb

Conviction, by vision made whole

It’s perfection in a glass bowl

The drive, which pushed me on, to make it on my own

Slowly fading, slowly grinding to a halt

I stand alone
