Alone As I Wish


Sometimes I can’t help opening 
Oh, eyes, to the darkness.
Pitch black, alone is how I stay
As I wish, as I lay.

Surely lonely I must feel,
But no such feeling flows.
It’s suddenly peaceful and lost
To the rest of the world.

Broken, not sure of myself,
One is how I must continue.
The breath of me holding down
My pain, sorrows, and outsider head.

I save as I walk my way through
Shoving them in the right way
Towards the shining light
As I stand intrepid in the dark

A fallen angel, perhaps one may say,
No name can be placed on me.
Nay, I say to some company.
Just stay away; go away.
