Solitary Light

I block out the light
With this solitary door
I must walk through the shadows
And numb myself of times before

Since no one cares
No one will know
Paint the walls and ceiling black
Board off each and every window

The glowing sky
It immerses only dark
Concealed within it’s rays-the lonely brush of pain
The shadow is my mark

Found within the sun
The light
Everything I've gone without
Each fragmant of agony I've ever had to fight

All of my dreams
why do they drift so far from me?
Drowning in the daylight
of this monstrous solitary sea

Maybe one day
I might be immune to light rays
A day I feel content
A moment void of this constant pain

This introverted silence
Lonely
I am one
Darkened light
Blocked from the warmth of sun

On the pillow where I weep
Tears-which shine so bright
Lonely, I am one
I am but solitary light
