The Silent Battle
In the valleys of loneliness,
Something twitches my mind
Which sounds so unkind.
A silent battle rises-
Between me and my mind.
Oh you dark eyed beauty-
What good are you for?
Isn't it such a pity
For a little girl like you to be here,
In this hour of darkness.
Humans are mere villains
Murderers of your mind and soul.
And you o fool,
Such a weak being
Who can't propound revenge against them.
Oh you cursed creature
Who tortures my being-
Is filled with mere ignorance.
Look around, you devil.
This world is a magnificent realm,
And those humans are my brothers.
They gift me with love and joy,
With peace and kindness.
And now leave me alone
I am exhausted with your slanderous words
Which sound so malicious
And wrenches my tender soul.
