The Candle Within Four Glass Walls
Loneliness is loneliness, and cruelty is cruelty

I am the candle within the four glass walls,
Flickering softly as the silent night falls.
Loneliness is loneliness, a friend I know well,
A companion in silence, where shadows dwell.
Encased in my prison, the world out of reach,
Cruelty is cruelty, a harsh lesson to teach.
The glass is a barrier, both fragile and strong,
Keeping me safe, yet where do I belong?
The flame dances lightly, a solitary glow,
A beacon of warmth in a world cold as snow.
Loneliness whispers, a soft, haunting tone,
Cruelty echoes, a harshness unknown.
I burn with a purpose, a light in the dark,
A symbol of hope, a small, glowing spark.
Yet trapped in my confines, I long to be free,
To share my light with the world, to truly be me.
Loneliness is loneliness, an empty embrace,
Cruelty is cruelty, a stark, bitter taste.
But within these walls, my light still shines bright,
A testament to strength, a beacon of light.
I am the candle within the four glass walls,
Flickering softly as the silent night falls.
In loneliness and cruelty, I find my way,
Burning ever brighter, night after day.
