One

I see a light from behind The statue of hope In the dark of my mind Am I the only one here In whats left of this town In a world broken down I wear this sorrow like a hole in the head My demons block out the sun leaving me as the one The one who exists for no one Who shoulders the burdens To live with nowhere to run

This is deeply sad. I can see this person who is totally separated from God and his fellowman. I hope that it is just a topic and not what is happening in your life. Keep writing. Sara
