Walking The World Alone
Yeah I walk it
Without a companion
Or friend
I walk the world alone
It seems right to me
I don't like the movies
Most television shows
Or most popular music
I walk the world alone
Unable to build
An emotional attachment
With anyone
I walk the world alone
With beer as
My companion
People can be only
Skin, hair
Blood and bone
To me
Girls are breasts, eyes
Hair and vaginas
To me
I walk the world
Alone unable
To just chit chat
My soul as heavy
As a grand piano
I walk the world alone
Aggressive, irritable
And impatient
My nerves are like thousands
Of inmates held captive
In my body
I walk this world alone
No one or man
Able to comprehend me
I walk the world alone
The beast swells with in me
I walk the world alone
Groups, cliques and institutions
And advertising unable to
Persuade me
I walk this world alone.

I like this one a lot.
Hmm. Well trying to get a photo into a comment field didn't work. I still like the poem though.
The chanting 'I walk the world alone' really moved me. I reckon you could have written any old thing between the 'I walk the world alone' repetitions and it would work for me. Really doomy and relentless. I mean, I like it.
Yes. I agree with Penny. The repetition of "I walk the world alone" pulls me through this. Some sections are stronger than others, I think, but the ending is "heavy / As a grand piano"*
Nice lines, Damion.
