I have found home in solitude,
I now sleep at ease
without terrible nightmares
stripping me off my peace -:
These lonely walls
are more than just walls;
they’ve brought me closure;
gave me exposure
to lead a life
in solitude;
They know my tears
and all my fears
and everything else
that remains unspoken -:
__
I can hear thunderous storms
wrestle through the sky
with great wrath;
hoping to scare me away
till I lose my righteous path
and perish into dust -:
I used to love nature
until I had to nurture
humans who couldn’t get their act right,
I used to be their home
now they’re homeless;
I used to be their heart
now they’re heartless –
I’ve stripped them off
everything about me
and clothed my lonely walls
