Kingdom of Sorrow
I’m happy on my own,
No people to contend.
I get to be myself alone,
No reason to pretend.
Sometimes it may get lonely,
But this I know is true;
My independence flourishes-
No anger to subdue.
You break my feelings daily,
You care not about my tears;
I see your attitude changing-
It’s heightening my fears.
The depression drowns my anger,
The resentment kills my voice.
I tried to do right by you-
But now I have made my choice.
My strength is getting weaker.
The Walls are falling down.
The pain keeps getting more intense;
Thorns where once there was a crown.
My kingdom is retreating,
My horses start to flee,
I try again to call your name,
But all I hear is me.
The gemstones are now worthless,
The Gold gets duller each day;
For the friends that used to care for me;
All I do is pray.
Once I was happy on my own,
There were no people to contend.
No crowds in which to hide my sorrow,
No reason to pretend.
