ALONE

Oh! How I turned loneliness a friend.
In turn, I looked at friendliness as a fiend!
Preeminently, my days are stung.
Upon the cord, my life was hung!
Life, betrayed!
Happiness, swayed!
Loneliness,coy!
Friendliness, cloy!

Depression knocks me down,
Loneliness and despair turned me a clown!
My lonely days had taken an ex-delicto!
Loneliness, the only thing to show!
Alone,
I was stranded in a clumsy cone.
With my words, failing me.
And my voice, hung on a tree!
I was raised by eloquence!
Lived in a witty wordy fence.
Grew up to be trained by taciturnity,
Alone, gone! All my vociferosity!
