SECLUSION


I was lost in this fog of confusion

Every night I linger for decision;

Under the dim heaven, dangers in my dream

Full of dread, restrained sorrow---I was suppressed here.


Bound I am in threat of madness,

Destroyed myself on grieving for my lost hopes

The darkness forbids the shadow of reality;

Tears fell, I groaned, full of futility.


I was grasped by impenetrable desolation

Faces were shadowed, bitter passion

Despair, hatred, ember of protest

Burns in my heart, my soul weeps with no rest.


You should know that seclusion is not happiness

Hear me all, my people! My heart was withered by darkness.

Space in this chamber was timeless, feels like forever

When will someone quench my thirst and feed my hunger?


I was ripped and empty; I’m cold and alone

From the pain of memories, I was torn.

Have it brought good or ill?

All my denials and my fear.
