Loner's Manifesto

Just when life turns to bright colours,
you find something to dim those lights.
Just when life brings optimism,
you find something to let it down.

Loner's Manifesto
Have you ever had a day?
where it was of no significance...
Yet, a new perspective turns it around
And brings about an old foe.
Have you ever been free?
In the midst of mass crowds
Shrouded by companions
Yet, left alone in the cold.
Have you ever had experiences?
Which took your breath away
While leading you astray
Promising gold while holding only stone.
Have you ever had moments?
Moments of such gravity
Which changed the path
The path that you were bound to follow

Have you ever been cold?
Cold in the dark
Where light does not see the ground
The only ground you've seen
Have you ever been me?
Where times like these
are the times that matter...
Where times like these
are the times I live...
Where times like these
define who I am...
Have you ever had a day?
Have you ever been free?
Have you ever had experiences?
Have you ever been cold?
Have you ever had moments?
Have you ever been me?

Have you ever been lonely?
People there only to laugh alongside you
Leaving you stranded in the mud pits
Alone, living only among shadows
When all you ever wanted
was merely another like you
Another one who wants nothing more than to have
that day, that freedom, that experience,
that cold night, that moment,
and me...
