Loner

I'm lonely, but so are you

You can call it solidarity,

sympathetic empathetic decency

Be decent and cover up

put your clothes back on and 

hug your truth to your chest

shove your wallet back in 

and get the hell out. 

To call it solidarity 

is an insult they keep using

I'm mocking it when I agree

Knowing the words 'til it's a part of me

Shouting I'm in control 

While wheels slip from slack hands

And I understand the last stand 

Will be made by us on our knees.

You are so, lonely, but I'm 

calling it solidarity too 

Taking life as a line at a time 

A script I'm not following 

Asks me to read but I'm blind 

This is a world with no braille, 

You can't feel your way through
