Always Alone

I'm a destined wanderer

I'm always alone

Even in a group

I'm always the one

The one who doesn't belong

The one who gets left

The one who gets separated

The one who gets lost

Everyone else has one person they came with

Everyone else has that one true friend

I'm an accessory—a nice to have

But not necessary

An adornment that gets lost in the shuffle

Gets left

While the important was taken

And no care is taken to find me

So I journey on with the one friend I always have

Me
