Man Of Solitude

The labyrinth of time and uncertainty
Push me into a world of loneliness,
Removing the things that gave me joy
Yesterday. Oh! Man of pain and distress.

Across the crying hills and sobbing plains,
Wander I with a rainbow, hue face and
Mind, processing the mist that has masked
My life. Oh! Man of a painful suffering.

The faces I see today are not real,
Deceiving masks, underneath lies the real deal,
I didn't choose these evil things, they chose
Me. It's okay. Oh! Man of burdens.

Hmmm, What? Just leave me here, why border me?
Thou my mind is in black pain, here is truth;
White as black, clear as night, peaceful at last.
Oh! Man of white sorrow; a rose with thorns.

Go on with your life, I'll be just fine
Let me rest from my ills, let me sit for
Awhile and muse, I want to trawl ideas
Thoughts of focus, Oh! Man of confusion.

In this loneliness, I need a sound rest,
Thus, let me be, let me live; I'm fine.
I have not steal a stone from anyone; let
The world forget me. Oh! Man of purpose.
