The Room That Knows My Name

Loneliness sits next to me

Like a quiet shadow on the wall

It do not speak

But it knows my name

At night, the ceiling becomes a sky

Without stars

I search for one small light

To prove I am not invisible.

The clock moves slowly, 

Each second a soft drop of cold rain

I try to be strong like a mountain

But inside I am just a trembling leaf

People pass me like seasons

They change, they leave

They forget the sound of my voice

I stay like winter that never ends.

Sometimes I smile too brightly

Like a broken lamp trying to shine

No one sees the dark behind my eyes,

The silent storm I hide

But even in this deep silence

My heart still beats loud

It says

"You are more than this empty room."

Maybe loneliness is not my enemy.

Maybe it is a mirror,

Showing me the parts of myself

I was afraid to see. 

And one day

When a real star finally appears,

I am will not beg it to stay

I am will shine too
