When displeasing darkness and silence reign
Through the long wintry nights,
laying my head as though on a rocky pillow,

Musing over my sorrows
And trying to catch the peace
Released by the unperturbed breeze
Piercing the four-walls of my quarter

When my angry soul roared☆
My thought began beating on the rocky shore;
And were split and spilt over me
looking blanched like a wilting lettuce
A wave of options paraded my heart

And my heart brood on the towering heights
Of spilt emotions of bore;
How unlucky I was,
Escaping from a scarecrow only to fall for a tiger's hideout

She's a scorpion that stings it breeder
She's a cheetah blanketed in cat's hides
And "Oh behold," the imprisoned truth came out of silence.
