I Came As One

I've been told to come as one so I don't feel alone

I am never alone, just lonely

My fears are unspoken but my face

speaks involuntarily

Thanks, face

It's a given

I wish I could float ahead and see the future

for what it may be

But another part of me would stay back

to see what is behind

in case I am ever followed
