in the darkness of the night
I found cover from the shame posed by the light
carelessly it mocked me in every right
with heavy blows of curses they fight
...
pain of unknown cause
is that which I feel in my heart
relief to it has become near impossible
sharp bouts of pains attack me
...
mentally this I what I envision
your head safely resting on my laps
with my fingers gently stroking your curly hair
sounds of your heartbeat in my ears I hear
...
a good follower ofthem that lead be
that in turn you may lead good others
bellowed the old lady every time I met her
always beckoning me to follow to lead
...
from vain company I separated myself
from the rest I opted to be unique
...
You see my action towards you
I can see you are convinced am mean
Notice, I was once like you
For sure I know what it means
...
to be distant from you
is to be nuts in an instant
the high fever in me is constant
having me to do this alone
...
Ignoble Hero
in the darkness of the night
I found cover from the shame posed by the light
carelessly it mocked me in every right
with heavy blows of curses they fight
diminished I feel the loss of weight
am dwindled am of no respectable height
I drag my feet as I move in a pity gaiety
this is all they wished and it has come real
living such a life is no the raw deal
tears full of depression are now my daily meal
living has come to be casual with no zeal
all day I entreat him that He may heal
hide in water from the pain like a seal
all my detractors do is gloat
as I drown in sorrow they in pride float
upon my sorrows they build destable moat
my house has been turned to a crib of goat
am clothed in dismay and reproach
to anyone I have lost the courage to approach
an outcast I am beyond their reach
they this say would do good to teach
among them to be found is loathsome to each
