passerby

passerby

In the real world 

     I am merely a  passerby.

Finding no home to call my own.

I walk the dusty dirty streets

                  So lost and all alone.

Why then should it be this way?

Is this the modern way of life?

   Am I to always suffer loneliness

        A life beset by doubt.

Adam is right, not necessary to have "just and mere" in the same line...perhaps extreme emphasis exists there....but, this is such a valid idea. We don't really own this life of ours, we just get to borrow it, we don't get to stay, just pass through.
and that can be a lonely feeling---because no one else can really affect the outcome of the visit...only we can make a difference for what time we are here.

nicely expressed piece.

Thank you Sir J... "only we can make a difference for what time we are here." I do am trying to do that, my friend, its a great advice to start with for myself... thanks for the advice, Sir, I change it to be more universal than personal...

A very honest, truthful, but sad piece you have here. Everybody is just another face in the crowd when there's a big one.

true, life is crowded, hard to follow when your too unfocused ... thank you so much my friend, glad to see you still writing song...

I recommend the " The Flies" by Jean-Paul Sartre...You might find some answers.

Whilst this is such a sad though beautiful poem... your words show awareness and that's so important. To recognise one's own dilemma is sometimes the key to changing it Truly pray that you can, my friend.

Thank you, ms. Em's... I am truly starting to recognized the ugly truth to some of my doubts... that i myself needed to conquer... I am grateful with your kind, kind words... be well my friend...
