CONTRASTS

Silence, at times, sends shudders through me,

It is as if I can hear Hell hiss,

I am afraid of keeping such company,

Which to others is like bliss.

Solitude and sea waves,

City lights and plazas,

O, what a constrast,

The undefined path paves.

I tried my best to reshape,

The course of my destiny,

But I slipped, fell and got hurt,

As the Writer pulled a cape.

I came here to serve you,

But the tidal wave prevailed,

You just did not need me,

So all my efforts failed.

Oh, please let me be,

Let the noises hoot and shout,

Let darkness let loose its ghosts,

I have my Saviour beside me.
