So Lonely I Am

Step by step, I took the wrong path unknowingly.

My footprints marking my decision.

My obsession revealing my ignorance.

My regret indicating my doom.

Lost in the unclear world.

With no one to take my hand.

I spent every night alone.

Singing a lullaby to myself.

Holding my knees.

And burying my head.

Trying to escape the voices in my mind.

I became my own light in the darkness.

The rain wiping my tears.

And the drops soaking my hair.

The mud splashing my clothes.

And the joy making my heart sad.

So lonely I am.

With no one to share an umbrella with me.

With no one to take me back home.

With no one to hand me the towel when I'm home.

So lonely I am.

~To all the loneliness we harbour in our hearts step by step.
