Walk Alone Poem by Hanan Muzafar

Lie still beside a wall,
and watch how it passes by;
Travellers and strangers they're,
Some get through, and some get by,
Strange it is,
and strange you're—
Ravens,
Say it all the time
'When it hurts, it hurts hard,
Indifferent they become,
Cold they behave,
and arrogant they're'.

Looking for a refuge,
even if it's for a while,
A different favour,
they want and ask for—
To leave a place behind,
and awake you remain:
While it goes nowhere.

Glitter they like to see,
Beware of those,
who offer hopes in prison corridors,
for they feed on your sorrow:
Hollow they're, down to core,
and flawed became.

A line they draw,
to keep you away, distance they create—
Let them go,
for they shall come to know,
what they had, and what they lost,
long ago:
Walk alone, and walk along.
