Alone

Alone through life I seem to tread
Plodding along, not knowing when
I'll find the key that opens me
Unchains my soul and sets me free

To find someone who'll take the time
To see through me, looking deep inside
Finding, that I’m not forged in stone
I'm truly made of flesh and bone

Surely I must have gifts to share
Qualities in me that might be rare
Below the surface they seem to hide
waiting for someone who'll choose to try

Or maybe it's my cross to bare
To remain alone, adrift and scared
Never understanding who I am
Never knowing love again…
