I walked alone.
I took my time.
I didn’t look back
while I made the climb.

I walked alone.
I didn’t even tell.
I didn’t want them
to end the spell.

I walked alone.
I made my choice.
I didn’t want anyone
to end my voice.

I walked alone.
I refused to adjust.
I made up my mind
never to trust.

I was afraid of the unknown,
so I walked alone.
