Travelling Alone


Travelling alone
to some, a sorry sight
Travelling alone,
but who does he drink with at night?

Travelling alone
a table for one will do,
Travelling alone,
you're just glad that persons not you 

Travelling alone
how does he not get bored?
Travelling alone
maybe he just wants to cut the cord,
cut the cord on his normal life..
the people, the pressures, and all of the strife 

Maybe he just wants to step back and reflect,
to observe, and consider things, in retrospect 

In a world of expectations 
there's none when it's only you,
no others desires, needs, or wants..
to only yourself, you need to be true

Some may say it's selfish,
some may say it's strange,
some may even take pity,
and in conversation, they'll try to engage

But all in all, it's a choice,
just another way to reenergise,
before preparing to go back to the real world,
a real world that's sometimes easily despised
