I'M Destined To Be Lonely
Once again, against my will,
I'm destined to be lonely
and walk among the flames of Hell
regardless of day or time;
my perception of Heaven isn't real,
I almost touched it when joy
conquered me and made me shout
for defeating anger, but it didn't last...
and trying harder I became bitter inside!
Nothing stays beautiful
as it appears to the naive eyes,
look for those imperfections
that some foolish people hide
under their deceiving masks,
don't take useless risks;
look for true beauty inside,
compare it to prized possessions
they are never delusional
and don't need alibis!
Am I ever going to be
humiliated by fate throwing
despair and delusion at me,
denying me my wishes and make them bleak?
Can I be hoping to boost up the confidence I seek
without pride waning?
Once again, I'm destined to be lonely,
see others celebrate life, and live out their dreams...
while this loner has never felt a minimal joy
or seen his sky filled with balloons emitting screams!
