Loner
Lying on the floor in pain
The man reaches up and tries again
But he can't pull himself up this time
He calls for help but no one can hear him
No crutch to hold on to
No friend to lean on
The world he knows is in his own mind
He is so far inside
There is no turning back
His life has been wasted
His hope is all gone
This man's family is dead
No children to carry on his name
Another body without a soul
He fails to see what he could have been
A crutch to hold on to
A friend to lean on
A person, a reason, for him to be kind
Why doesn't someone take his life
That could end his horrible plight
But the world won't give him up that easy
He thought he was strong
Could handle being alone
But the past tells us
Wasting away isn't the answer
He is an example to all of us
Will we become him if we hide from our dreams?
