I have a pen in my hand but a pain in my heart
Pain of a puzzled brain that can't see what to write
Emotionally stricken from the start
But hoping for sunlight at midnight
Am in the slime, no home no fortress
Staring at black and white, upside-down portraits
I see a dark shadow stand tall
Now am wondering who's behind the closed door
I go up but drop like moments on a seesaw
So my heart clenches fists of violence
I lose hope can't cope the torments of a freefall
And too loud is the noise of silence
So I pinch my skin and scream
Like seeing a phantom on a screen
No peace like peaceful scene I've seen
Of a stone at the bottom of a stream
coz I keep revolving round my lonely circle
Entangled in my own thoughts
Hard knocks from the strikes of echo
Imprisoned in the bleak of my own faults
Am locked in agony from dawn to dusk
So my shadow abandons me when the light fades
Striving to figure out who is behind the black mask
And the time says am half past dead
I see two lights from a distance
Igniting my hopes, lending a shoulder to cry on
But it is all plight of a disguise
Because what I saw were two glowing eyes of a lion
Painful words written in a dark room
Like stepping my bare feet on pieces of broken glasses
Cold and bitter is the gloom
Because the fire is gone, now I see grey ashes
Written all over me is shame and scoff
Like a once beautiful flower that petals have now fallen off
So all I need is a hand and a torch till that bridge is crossed
Because am in a land unknown it seems am lost
