Overruled

He sat alone in his room,
With no idea what to do,
He looked everywhere for a clue,
Wanting only to get to you,
He wished again to hold
What was once untold,
That thought is now bold,
Old feelings are now cold,
He tried to find
Peace of mind,
But time can’t rewind,
It is always blind,
What once was whole
Is now a broken soul,
Black as coal,
An unpayable toll,
His head spins day and night,
His breathing becomes shallow and tight,
He searches always for the revealing light,
He finds always only a lack of fight…

A look inside reveals a truth that doesn’t suffice…
His desire is overruled by cowardice…


(Overruled is the original poetic version of the song Sat Alone)
