The Curse of Lonliness

I can understand why a heart can become so cold
How bitterness takes a threatening hold
Why tis when loneliness inside becomes so bold
And time has passed leaving u withered and old

Tattered dreams scattered all about
Nothing left of confidence ,just of doubt
Back where you started on lifes roundabout
Too tired to even stand up to shout

Nothing left of me to claim So little to give does remain
From anger I seem not to refrain
Life oh life a miserable shame

One day it will all change 
But who really knows 
For I've always been different
My loneliness tis all that shows

In my difference though I will shine
And all will just turn out to be fine
A place for me out there exists
If I'm just willing to take the risks
