Plight.
Attentiveness wasn't enough to hear,
moving lips was only for the fun of it.
the whispers are loud and I can't ignore it,
I ain't sure that of this cup any can Share.
but will you hold my hand?

alone in the midst of the crowd,
in lonliness I've known how loud quite is,
"Being your own friend" someone said "is the only solution there is"
I decided to really apply the relief I had found,
cos I didn't see anyone to hold my hand.

smile was my normal camouflage,
in seasons of storm and of rainbows,
but then my familiarity margins seemed to be sag,
and oh, mehn!! I saw the raise of brows.
all because my hand was out for it to be held.

I held on few, thinking to have multiple would be hard.
To others I frowned thinking you were my last and only card.
I never for once thought I would paint you this bad.
Joy turned villain; one of the beautiful memories I had.


🥃
