Dark Past

She likes to be alone.
She likes to dwell in the world alone.
She likes to live all by herself.
She likes to be happy all by herself.

Close room...
Dark room...
Hunted room...

She is happy when she is alone.
She is happy when no one talks to her.
She is happy when she is sad.
She is happy when no one can see her.

Lonely heart...
Beaten down...
Dark past...

She knows she can live through it.
She knows life is wonderful.
She knows spending it alone is the greatest.
She knows she can hide from them forever.

Humiliated...
Hatred...
Bullied...

What is the point of seeing the world?
There are so much cruelties underlying.
She cannot bare to face them now.
What's the use of unhiding herself?

Afraid to come out...
Scared to face people...
Unwilling to free herself...

She is a loner!
The dark past always hunts her!
She finds herself addicted to books!
They are her friends and comrades!

Sympathy...
She doesn't need it!
All she needs is hiding...
To hide in her room with books is a great consolation!
