Feeling Left Behind
In a world of darkness and sorrow,
That is where I live.
Lost and so very alone,
With nothing to take and little to give.
Friends and family I saw each day,
Have either died or moved far away.
Other's who kept in touch,
Do not seem to have much to say.
The only company I have these days,
Are the sounds that come from the world outside.
And just as with the bright sunlight,
Far from these, in fear, I hide.
Will tomorrow be the day when I,
Can throw back the shutters and open my eyes.
And look at the world again,
Wiping away all the tears I cry.
Maybe once again I will be able to find,
The hope and joy I had left behind.
And bring clarity and peace,
To my dark and clouded mind.
