Alone We Come and Alone We Go

Alone we have to fight our battles inner,
Whosoever the winner!
Alone we have to our wars wage,
Even if there are others on the same page!
Alone we have to plod our weary way,
Whether while doing it we are sad or gay!
Alone we have to our formidable mountains scale,
Whether we move way ahead or behind trail!
Alone we have to our demons face,
Whether we do it grumpily or with grace!
Alone we have to through the maze of life our way make,
Alone we have to the blows along the way take!
Alone we have to grapple with the lurking dangers,
Since we are destined to be lone rangers!
Alone we come and alone we go,
Alone we the seeds of our happiness or unhappiness sow!
Alone we the happy or unhappy crop reap,
Alone we sink into the bottomless deep!
