I Walk All Alone

I walk all alone,

Living in my own zone.

It’s the way I’ve been,

Since I’ve been grown.

By myself is the way I’ll be,

Only accountable to me.

It may be a life of solitude,

But at least I am free.

Trust no one

Is all I’ve ever done.

All of the deceit

Is enough to make me run.

Being alone is what I choose.

This way, I have nothing to lose.

Because I know your friendship

Is nothing but a ruse.

** Today's prompt in NaPoWriMo was to write a ruba'i, which is a 4 line stanza following the AABA rhyme pattern. Multiple ruba'i are called a rubaiyat, which is what I wrote. **
