Loneliness

When I was born in the depths of agony,
the kin left me 

When I refused to accept the mindless norms,
the success left me

When fate played tricks on me,
the faith left me

When I bowed to the gloom in life,
the happiness left me

When I turned to the darkness for solace,
the shadow left me

When I closed my eyes to escape the reality,
the imagination left me

When I pursued the path of perfection,
the passion left me

When I failed to find the elusive ego
the confidence left me

When I succumbed to the promise of glory
the morality left me

When I waited for the whisper of love,
the patience left me

when I yielded to the temptations of lust,
the integrity left me

When I lay to rest at last,
the peace left me

Oh loneliness! I resent you but love you more,
for you are who walked with me through every door
and when I embraced you,
all animosity left me
