A Single Cloud

My tears fall silently

Locked in my own cage

All alone

I've bottled up my rage

I toil away

At pointless work

To entertain others

In the darkness I shall lurk

Never to see the light

By myself and cold

Drowned in solitude

Here I will grow old

No one can get me out

Of the cruelty and sorrow

I'm stuck in a dark abyss

Never to see tomorrow

Then something appears

And breaks my concentration

Childhood memories

Could this be my salvation?

A single cloud

Drifts by slowly

It revives my thoughts

I feel less and less lonely

A vow I've kept since small

It shows me a light

It makes me see

I can do things right

Through the pain

I was plunged into despair

I now know

That life is fair

I'll continue to tell others

The simplest thing

The indescribable feelings

A single cloud can bring
