Lonely Nights

I find my place in life
nothing but self
running for the gusto
getting satisfaction
from the best

learned to be me
letting go the ropes
causing me to dangle
kicking to be free from
others point of view

Not accepted by the cliche
refusing to be molded
labeled by society
I go it alone
Not fitting in the puzzle
