Take me away,
Take me in a confined place,
A place where I’d be accustomed into deep thoughts,
A place where I’d envisage misery around me,
A place where I’d break down while conflicting against these demons,
Where I would let loose by writing an autobiography of my regrettable life,
Where I’d relate to how life’s taking me aback,
Take me to the darkest cave,
Since I’ve lacked illumination of light in my life,
Take me to farthest corner of the world,
Where dust and silence would be my allies,
For I have been resilience,
For I’ve been optimistic,
For I’ve been a rock against Vale of tears,
For I’ve fought with defiance,
For I’ve smiled even in the gloomy days,
For I’ve persevered the adversities in my life , Yet,
Tribulation! Affliction! Blow! Misfortune is my daily bread!
Take me to the bitter end of the world!,
Where I’d apologise for my existence,
Where I’d offer myself compassion!
Where I’d have inaudible screams,
That wouldn’t even awake my tortured soul!
So I plead to be taken away!!
