A Beacon in the Dark

Loneliness, a feeling so profound,

A weight that's heavy, a heart that's bound,

In solitude, I wander, lost and found,

A soul adrift, in a world unbound.

The night is dark, the stars are few,

The wind it howls, a mournful hue,

The shadows dance, a macabre crew,

As I stand here, alone and true.

The world outside, a blur of light,

A world that's full, yet empty in sight,

The people pass, their faces a blight,

As I stand here, lost in this plight.

The days go by, a never-ending grind,

The nights are long, a restless mind,

The loneliness, a constant find,

A burden heavy, hard to unwind.

But still, I hold on to hope,

A glimmer of light, a fragile scope,

For in the darkness, there's a glow,

A light that guides, a beacon to know.

And though I'm alone, I'm not adrift,

For in my heart, a fire still burns bright,

A flame that flickers, a light that shines,

A beacon in the darkness of my mind.
