A Lonely Soul

The sky looks dull the wind feels dry gloominess, i see when i pass by the trees stay still and birds sleep long in this town of gloominess i once belonged heading my way home i cant find that street where i carved my name on a huge hollow tree have they left and gone? did they take my tree? which i myself grew, with that little seed. i call out for people a passing girl i see and shout to her the utmost hoping she hears me no one, ever replies how arrogant human being my heart beats fast i feel lone and tensed my reflection i cant see and the wind i dont feel people dont reply and now i know why... the clouds rain and shower the birds fly away people in their houses and im on my dead way where the days arent bright and the star dont shine at night the wind u never feel and a heart not capable to heal.
