I Stand Alone

In a world of chaos, I stand alone, by myself.
Torn and twisted, all the hope of the future mingles
With the pain of the past creating the bittersweet present.
When the laughter fades, I must laugh alone
With no one else.
Secrets never misunderstood
For they linger on my lips forever unspoken.
Eternally damaged, broken.
Longing for some unknown answers to a silent question.
I stand alone, damaged goods in a beautiful box,
The part of my soul that remained unscarred
Stays sheltered from it all, watches as I wander this world, lost.
When love no longer matters,
My heart will beat alone, by itself.
When the world turns against me,
There is one solution left for me to follow through.
To show everyone just how strong I can be,
I must fight . . . fight . . . fight . . . until the end,
For the entire world to see.
When there is no hope left,
And my world has turned upside down,
I must stand by myself,
To stand my own ground.
