First attempt at writing a poem

I walked down the road
to realize after a while,I was alone
I had walked out of the city
when others were trying to get in

I walked out bcoz I wanted
to be in the wild
the wild wild
and not the cultured wild

The city got too sophisticated for me
there were just too many rules
too much of pretentions
and too many judgments being formed

I wanted to experience the wild
wanted to see the harmony
wanted a breath of fresh air
and so I decided to walk out

The wild is all quiet
and the wild is vast
for the first time I see no walls, no advertisements
I hear no music, no news

But now as I have walked
I find myself alone
no one came with me
I asked no one to come

This loneliness is new to me
it is something I have never experienced
Im too used to people around me
Im used to sound around me

Why am I scared of being alone?
I never thought I would
I was suppose to be strong
but I find myself weak now

I look back at the path I took
I think of going back
but I cant
I cant go back

Why cant I go back
I have developed a disliking to all that
the never ending advertisements
the need to always pretend

but there is another reason which stops me
I fear what will people say
those people whom I had ridiculed
I can't face them

I have stopped now
Im not going forward
neither am I turning back
I stand there and just look around

While I stand wondering
I miss you
I wish you were here with me
Why did you not come along?
