Ang Tula

Loneliness

I never ask for someone to stay

I just want somebody to say

"Is anything I can do for you?"

"How are you? Are you okay"

But no one can understand what I feel

I feel hopeless, I feel an outcast,

And I feel no one cares, it is real

Like being alone always last

But I know time will pass

Loneliness can be my home,

Sadness can be my sword I can trust,

And darkness realm can be my throne

It is not the end, it is just a beginning

Of something new, that no one could ever imagine

That being by yourself is a rightful thing

And being alone show you the reality of world where I have been.
