Standing Alone

I stand alone. Refusing to jump off the bridge I stand alone. Just me, myself and I. I am my own influence and I am my own peer pressure.

I am a loner in the world. Others may follow but I am on my own. Never admitting I need someone to trust. Or someone to help me. I walk alone on my own street. Not matter where it leads.

Being different is who I am. I choose to be different because the same is boring. Following people leads to trouble. Trusting people leads to geting hurt and letting someone help you shows weakness.

There is only one problem with being a loner. Standing alone means there is no one to block you from the wind and no one one to help you when you fall. To truely stand alone means people are going to push you down and you have to pick yourself up. You have to help yourself.
