Prophet Of Sadness



Prophet of sadness

Alone in this world of regret,
What is the word called "happiness" I forget.
It is not love but it is my fate,
Which is the reason for my heartbreak.

Many people I used to know,
Along with time they all became my foes.
I used to live in peace and delight,
But now it's just my loneliness with which I fight.

All the sorrows I try to left them behind,
But like a loop of life & death, it always repeat in my mind.
Plucking the blade of grass to free them in wind,
In hope that they will bring me to the paradise that I'm trying to find.

I'm living like I'm dying,
I smile all the time but deep inside I'm crying.
The sorrowful cry from the bottom of my heart,
years have been spent since me and my smile have gotten apart.

I'm stucked in the maze called "life",
Every single second hurt me like a stabbed knife.
The loneliness is crawling me in the darkness,
Now I'm a blind man who's in search of happiness.

~Siddhant Gedam
