Sleeping Bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In shadows cast, alone I stand, a soul adrift and bare,
a tribeless heart, abandoned by the warmth of kin and friend,
In solitude, my echo lost in silent, empty air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world outside moves on, untouched by my despair,
while I, a lonely island, face each day I cannot mend.
In shadows cast, alone I stand, a soul adrift and bare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My voice, unheard, like whispers in a vast, unfeeling lair,
where every step is heavier, each moment hard to fend.
In solitude, my echo lost in silent, empty air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The burdens grow, like mountains from the molehills of my care,
a weight unseen, unfelt by those who never comprehend.
In shadows cast, alone I stand, a soul adrift and bare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abandoned self, a ghost within, leads to loneliest lair,
a path of isolation where broken spirits never blend.
In solitude, my echo lost in silent, empty air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, in this void, I search for light, a hope for repair,
for even in the deepest night, the dawn can still ascend.
In shadows cast, alone I stand, a soul adrift and bare,
in solitude, my echo finds a whisper to delcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
