A Slave To Solitary
A Slave To Solitary
From youth till the present solitary has kept me its slave
Protecting me from reality by hiding me in its dark cave
No one can fathom my understanding - nor break the surface of my heart
No one can rationalize or relate to the stubbornness of my minds chart.
There’s no evidence of affection nor signs of dignity
My soul has shown another - Instead I tread in a bottomless pool of depravity
I didn’t choose to be cruel the darkness chose me
Blind and naked I sought love oh so desperately!
But I’m a slave to solitary Just leave me be
For the planet I live on has no rules of gravity
I confide in its boundaries - letting no one enter my domain.
For the darkness would swallow you - the heavy rain would inflict much pain.
In finality I must now return to my dark cave.
For solitary is expecting me to remain its loyal slave.
