Left alone

Silence is the melody I dance to
Darkness is the companion I speak to
Left alone to face it alone
Forgotten and rejected
Thrown away in the pit of silence
Sitting in the confined four corners
With no escape route
Afraid of my own shadow
Buried within my own thoughts
I even forget my own existence
Thrown and cast away
So far away from light
Hopes shattered
Dreams quenched
Left alone

To fall down the hill
Without any hope of climbing up
They just cast you aside
Like salt that has lost its value
Like the shadows,
Left alone to face it all
