The solemn hymn of quietness My faithful friend My strength that feeds me So long I was lonely I forgot how to talk How to show attitude But it also devours and weakens me When I hear the laughter and cries of friends While I am hurdled in my den Tugging at the sheets I fear solitude then It becomes my biggest enemy That everyday grows in me And widens the gap between me and the world I long for its company Yet it shuns me of company I am shattered, I am torn, I am confused I pray for guidance; for my sanity To happen what is right for me To save me from the woes Of the cruel world Amongst the solemn darkness I pray for the ray of shine For the beauty of people To shine like a burst of light I pray for the gentle laughter of people To overpower the bitterness To overshadow the spite I pray that I have hope That brings me out of my misery I long for a world full of love and life!
