MY PAIN

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A girl is stricken and destroyed

There is no sound of laughter or happiness here
The tears are wiped away silently in a towel today
Sombre, melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray

Emptiness builds a home in this girl
In this girl, a child cries out loud
A deepening sea of loneliness consumes
And eats away at every connecting thread

Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone, exiled, different and disdained.
