Shall I walk alone



Shall I walk alone


Shall I walk alone?
Among the constraints cast within,
or freely roam through my soul
Rejoice for my mind's home.

Doubting whether or not to believe
for the journey may be in vain,
or shall I travel this path still
No matter where it twines?

Searching for the answers
in desperate measure hope in silent tone.
Which way shall this path lead?
Shall I walk alone?

Deafness chimes sound yet but once.
Let I not wait until the bell tolls,
Let me experience thy beauty queen
Or, Shall I walk alone?

Keep with thee my memory,
Where ever thy shall roam.
Walk with me to eternity
Or, Shall I walk alone?
