Kingdom of Sorrow

I’m happy on my own, No people to contend. I get to be myself alone, No reason to pretend. Sometimes it may get lonely, But this I know is true; My independence flourishes- No anger to subdue. You break my feelings daily, You care not about my tears; I see your attitude changing- It’s heightening my fears. The depression drowns my anger, The resentment kills my voice. I tried to do right by you- But now I have made my choice. My strength is getting weaker. The Walls are falling down. The pain keeps getting more intense; Thorns where once there was a crown. My kingdom is retreating, My horses start to flee, I try again to call your name, But all I hear is me. The gemstones are now worthless, The Gold gets duller each day; For the friends that used to care for me; All I do is pray. Once I was happy on my own, There were no people to contend. No crowds in which to hide my sorrow, No reason to pretend.
