A lonely lighthouse,
Where silence is a curse.
Who is the one in isolation?
Constantly watching people go by,
But never having any contact.
They say darkness makes anyone flee;
But here it is the light,
That guides humanity away.
An overwhelming loneliness,
That pulls anyone back.
Such a burden to bare.
But along with pain,
Comes incredible strength.
Author notes
4.God gave burdens also shoulders.an old shamon proverb
Not my best write but I felt like I needed to write something or else I'd go mad!
So enjoy the crappiest work ever written!
