Lonely
Psalm 42:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)
5 Why are you depressed, O my soul?
Why are you upset?
Wait for God!
For I will again give thanks
to my God for his saving intervention.
Let me be what I need to be: "me-only"
I want to feel sorry as I am depressed
I won’t reside in the realm of the lonely
I just want to be noticed like the rest
Join the club is not my style
I am a loner deep in the heart
But I like for some to listen
There my ignorance to impart
Where to go from loneliness?
Where to find my better self?
I don’t know where to really start
Like an unread book upon a shelf
Just for a show, I hang around
Hoping to be picked up one day
In expectation not to be dropped
Or to be read in just one page
Maybe after all my friend
The race-track is right at your feet
Start your engine and be careful
don't trust the road beneath
