I walk these roads with quiet feet,
no shadows follow, no voices greet.
The crowd is there, yet out of sight,
I chose my path, I chose it right.
No circle of friends, no endless calls,
just echoes dancing off my walls.
Some say I’m lost, some say I hide,
but peace is found on the other side.
Their judgments pass, like fleeting rain,
I’ve shed the weight, I’ve shed the chain.
No guilt, no ache for what I lack,
I gave my truth, I can’t go back.
I know my value—solid, intact,
the world can’t snatch it, that’s a fact.
The only thing I can do is grieve,
then let it go, and choose to leave.
The world may whisper I’m astray,
but solitude has lit my way.
For in this stillness, I’ve come to see,
being alone can set you free.
