strangers

a strange man walked by me today,
an unknown face,

but not just another in the crowd.

he bent his head slightly, angry and alone,

with defiant eyes that looked around,
as if the world was undeserving of his presence.

surprised at his anger, i had to smile,
i know a thing or two about anger and darkness.

only a man who is totally in control of his emotions,
can feel the loneliness of being unique.

go your way stranger, and be at peace,
this world does not deserve your love.
