Feeling Left Behind

In a world of darkness and sorrow, That is where I live. Lost and so very alone, With nothing to take and little to give. Friends and family I saw each day, Have either died or moved far away. Other's who kept in touch, Do not seem to have much to say. The only company I have these days, Are the sounds that come from the world outside. And just as with the bright sunlight, Far from these, in fear, I hide. Will tomorrow be the day when I, Can throw back the shutters and open my eyes. And look at the world again, Wiping away all the tears I cry. Maybe once again I will be able to find, The hope and joy I had left behind. And bring clarity and peace, To my dark and clouded mind.
