Solitude in Winter Nights

Long were the nights of November,
Far from home I was left alone.
Surrounded by my fears I used to slumber,
Alone in a land unknown.

 

Beaten and broken was my soul,
A total failure on the whole.
The night was dark with no trace of light,
Tired I was in this unfortunate plight.

 

My speeches turned melancholic,
I was crushed by my failures.
My heart turned heavy and my throat used to pain,
All the efforts I took ,were all in vain.

 

My care and concern were questioned,
I wondered how could anyone judge like that,
I felt like I was not worthy anymore,
So in darkness i sat.

 

Solitude!!!!! My heart cried,
That was the long lost place where i used to reside.
With time I had come out of that place ,
But i had to go back there to rest my case.

 

It didn't feel good to stay away from others,
But that's what had to be done.
With everyone around I felt alone,
But now its fine ! Solitude was my home.
