Self Pity

Alive this night, I try to be While candle flickers on display The room, prison, my lock, no key My bed, my life, in disarray My thoughts, unsure, they hold no weight The phone, its ring, no tone, no sound My family, gone, they left with hate So left, in tears, to one day drown But yet, die not, I am still here Thinking, long and hard, still no clue Can’t bring them back, the ones held dear So this, my life, I’m left to rue What is this man supposed to do? My life, is death, this much is true
