IN MY LONLINESS

In my lonliness, and in my despair,

I can’t find peace, though I look everywhere

I look and look, and pursue and seek

My trust in myself is really weak.

Who am I to judge what is right?

Who am I to search for the light?

The tunnel is shadowy, the walls dark grey

But all of my adult life, it’s been this way

Dubiety in my life it reigns,

Love in my life is always refrained.

Says my heart, it’s all in jest,

I think something is wanted, at best,

Who could truly love me, for who I be?

Who would take the time to get to know me?

And not laugh at what they find inside,

In my lonliness, I sit and hide.
