Prayer is not a stage, and you are not called to imitate someone else’s script. You don’t have to borrow another person’s voice, rhythm, or style just to sound spiritual. God is not looking for a performance; He is listening for you.

Being a “lone-ranger” in this sense means refusing to hide behind borrowed words or copied expressions. It means coming to God as your true self, with your own language, your own thoughts, your own emotions. Some people pray loudly, others whisper. Some sing, others sit in silence. None of that matters as much as authenticity.
