loneliness

Loneliness drove me into the woods

It took me by the hands and gave me a good push

I fell in a deep hole covered in darkness

Sadness and loneliness

The voice said "Do not neglect me"

"For you must face me before I set you free."

I said, "You are a waste of time."

"Within seconds my hands were paralysed."

The voice said, "Instead of running away from me

"Just like a sick person, I am very weak."

Loneliness gave me a crown

And then it frowned

And said, "Do you want life to be like this?"

"To be easy and rich."

"Is that what you want from life?"

"Will that make you feel alive?"

Within seconds, darkness turned to light

Even when day was night

Loneliness decided to give me what I wanted

It gave me everything I desired

It gave me money

And filled my life with milk and honey

It gave me friends and fame

And everyone knew my name

It made life so easy for me

And made me do as I pleased

What loneliness gave to me was great

It just took my breath away

I spend time doing as I please

Buying my wants and my needs

Everything was how I wanted it to be 

It was what I believed that would set me free 

But then night came again

And then once more, I was lonely and afraid

I tried accepting loneliness

But it buried me in deep sadness

I laid in bed alone

With no one to phone

Tears dripped down my face

And that was when loneliness took me away
