Original Submission by Ribka Brillyand Angeli Mboe

Lone Traveller

Some may need one,

The world seems too quite,

Solely to shared their laugh,

Then pay them with tears.

For the dead all just in the past,

For me everything still in the future,

And anyone else, today.

Periodly searching for doom.

I count every flaws,

Like I’m the supreme court,

Sit besides the judges,

But in fact i’m the defendant.

Perpeptually being chased;

Outlaws laugh at me,

Even the fraudster,

Accused me.

My mind stuck with myself,

Too selfish to share,

Unimpressed by their attempts.

Hiding behind innocent face.

Beauty in me,

Surround by springe,

They misread the word,

Then fall into them.

Summer broil souls

And winter freeze bones.

Unfortunately, I survived them all.

Build something undeniable.

Go after your armor heart,

So my torns wont hurt

And the fire cannot scorch yours

Accelerate ordinary into Gold.

Pleased to meet you then.

The space still growing apart.

But we construct solid line.

Our gravity soon will be the most magnificent universe.
