solemnly I sit and stare
at the faces and places that do
pass me by as I bare
the pain that I have and hold true
and only you can sense my loneliness
and recognize my holiness
you love me for I am me
an aura of flickering light
which might burn out suddenly
feeling the world should be right
and they place too much pain on me
after all, I am only me
unable to take the pain
of a desolate world
I am forced to bare the shame
of the earth unfurled
and because it hurts too much
I sit and cry crystal tears
and sing of a pain that is such
a pain that is way beyond my years
and the tears fade into my aura
one of true holiness
as I sit amidst the flora
I am the muse of loneliness...
