Lonesome Feelings Poem by Fadhy Mtanga

I used to have so many friends around,
Who were always in my mind,
Them so many that my heart would defend,
Is only this, that I'm trying to understand,
That against them I wouldn't contend.

But I'm so lonely even in the crowd,
In the sea of people I'm like an island,
With lonesome feelings driving my own world,
I may anticipate on acquiring among them around,
But there's no one even to give me a hand.

I'm in a lonely room in a lonely world,
On a lonely chair put on the lonely land,
And the heart is nearly to burn a thread,
With my mood without a trend,
Knowing no one who can truly be a friend.

They left me so unaccompanied,
My tears were swept away by strong wind,
But I had to face new world that was unaccustomed,
And I was so frail that I wouldn't stand,
The pains in the heart they had to rend.

I may think of the one unabashed,
Who will never dropp me into a pond,
I'm so lonely. Who'll gimme a company that's unbounded?
So true, that never senses the pains behind,
That'll conquer even the strong wind.
