Solitude Is a Lonely Man

I have been there too well
                                               Staying in my Solitude
                                               Now to experience Life's hell
                                              The closest anybody came 
                                              By a smallest of thread
                                              Many have mocked me
                                              and wished I were dead
                                             Everytime the thought to go out
                                             People would laugh at me
                                             while milling about
                                             The grave may be next door
                                              If Life does not give to me
                                              A peace that I have been longing for
                                              Time had been kind for a while
                                              Allowing for a continuing smile
                                              The Clock ticks as the years fade
                                              Got to get started now
                                              And living the life that God has made
                                              Happiness is never permanent
                                              All this Lonely man wants 
                                              is his fair slice of it
                                              Kings have their Queens
                                              Boyfriends in their female arms
                                              Why should Everybody profit but me-
                                              in this Fall before the Winter Chill begins?!!
