This one is a bit random, and I'm not entirely sure where the inspiration came from. There's a subtle message within the text, if you can pick it out cudos to you, but enjoy the poem otherwise.
---------------------------------------------
The Unknown Traveller

I seek no company
But my own,
Only I
Know where I roam.

Across the deserts
On the plains,
Through towns and cities,
All the same.

They are so desolate,
Dark and descrite,
I dare not talk
To those I meet.

They stare back
So quiet and afraid,
As if they know
The mistakes I've made.

I travel alone
And have no time,
To socialise
Or continue my line.*

People know not
What to fear,
The time I'm there,
Or when i disappear.

For I bring such
Happiness and glee,
But pain and fear
Linger with me.

I stay alone and
Thus far I know,
If I should stop
There's nowhere to go.

My friends are dead
My family gone,
I've wandered alone
For ever so long.

I shall wander
Forever more,
And maybe, one day
I'll find a cure.

For my solitude
Releases pain,
I am alone
With no loss or gain.

I am unknown
To all I meet,
Walking forever
On my own two feet.
------------------------------------
*The phrase reading "continue my line" refers to continuing their family.

I am a broken toy,
Of no use to anyone,
But if you fix me up,
I'm sure we'll have some fun.

well, for the first half of the poem, to me it was saying how u are sad and torn up inside but no body really notices.
At this one part I almost stoped breathing 'cause of someone I know and what they r going through..well at this part:

My friends are dead
My family gone,
I've wandered alone
For ever so long.....

I liked it alot, thank you for sharing,
