This World
--
In this world I am alone,
No one to turn to,
Nothing to call my own,
I will tell you true,
I’ve been beaten into a shell,
A ghost of my former being,
I’m trapped like a beast in a cell,
Darkness is all that I am seeing,
My heart has been broken,
A thousand times,
My soul has been taken,
For untold crimes,
I stand alone,
Shrouded in night,
Broken are my bones,
But I live in spite,
In this world I am alone,
No one to turn to,
Nothing to call my own,
I have told you true.
