Lone

Weighing worry,
Cumulus clouds droop
At a misinformed milestone
I leave the group

Inviting wastelands
A role reprise
I'm tethered to stone
Self sacrifice

Time lapse and
Happiness elope
I'm left hanging
On a tightrope

Funnel me into the void
Patronise, don't pacify
My solitary echo
Is just a lingering sigh

A state of paralysis
That you've defined
I'm disturbed, I'm free
It's all in your mind
