On My Own

I stand here alone and tired in this life of mine
Shouldering the pain and disappointments all on my own
Wondering when one day someone will come along and extend a hand
To walk by my side
To hold me when I cry
Who will lay by me in the night
To ward off the terrors that plague my dreams
Who will drive out the doubts that cloud my mind
I have been that person for too many now
And have been marred by the sight of their own scars
But in this life I am cursed to walk alone
Lost in the memories of the past
Drowning in the loneliness that has begun to consume me
So do not fret when you see me cry
Because it’s time to let go and leave this life I’ve known behind
For somehow I will find that last ounce of courage in me
To fuel a fire
And brave the change I have no choice but to make
So do not fret when you see me cry
For this time I will find a way to hold my own
