I Must Go It Alone

I must go it alone
when others negotiate their dignity for existence
running in any commanded direction
during that spell of selection or rejection
I will represent everything but penitence
I must go it alone
while I cherry-pick self-respect over conformity
toeing the line of neutral and neurotic
Picture of self-confidence biopic
as wickedness intimidates the majority
I must go it alone
falling to rise again in another form
where medals will decorate my soul’s sleeve
and I call for a deity that calls me colleague
I entered and exited the world by storm
I must go it alone
