I stand alone
And the present is the past
And though times have changed
My loneliness will last.
But don\'t be mistaken
Because in an empty room
I find a benevolent solace
Not an unmerciful doom.
I seek no tinker.
I seek no pacifier.
No counselling thinker.
No optimistic liar.
What I seek is peace
A resolute silence
No one here to speak
No verbal violence.
It is not an escape
Nor a cowardly act.
It is not a plea for help
So don\'t dare to enact.
I will stand alone
In this comforting peace
It will not be forever
But I choose when to speak.
