\n 
\nAlone is not a state, it is a place
\nWith walls unseen and locks on every door,
\nA barren land devoid of any grace
\nWhere nothing seems to matter anymore.
\nNo music plays, the silence shouts aloud,
\nThe only voice that answers in the void,
\nA shrill reminder of the curs\u00e8d shroud
\nThat wraps you in its sorrow unalloyed.
\nAnd knowing there is beauty to be found
\nIf only one could somehow make escape
\nMakes all the worse the desolate surround
\nThat try as might one never can reshape.
\nCondemned, but why? I know not for what sin,
\nI’m always on the outside looking in.
