So I go and wonder through life
And wonder what I get from all my strife
But even if it doesn't hold out in the end
At least I know I don't need to depend on just a friend
So what if I am lonely
I've decided maybe it's the best
Because I can't see it any other way, it's how it was meant to be
I think I can pass any test, one day we all must fly from the nest
I don't need all these people constantly around me
To tell me what to do and how to be
Because as long as I am me, and that's who they see
I don't care what they think, through life this way, I'll proceed
I might make great friends along the way
There's nothing I can do, they eventually all drift away
Someday you might be like the rest too
But rest assured, I'll never completely forget you
I write all these poems to remind myself
Of who I am and who I was, like keeping my memories on a shelf
I don't want to repeat any mistakes
Though I know you're not one, I think I'm finally awake
I might wander aimlessly through life
But despite all my triumphs and strife
I wonder what happened to all the other people I once knew
But when I look back,I know it was never really true
Some friends go, some friends stay, but I don't need them all
Sometimes people think all we need are other people
But just because I'm by myself doesn't mean I'm insignificant and small
I don't always need someone there for me, I try to tell myself
Despite it all, I've simply accepted the loneliness in hindsight
To protect myself, I try with all my might
To save myself from falling right into all those stupid plights
That other people get themselves tangled in, so for now, I'll stay out of sight
