The Dark Cave

In this dark cave I have lived my lonely life;

Only gateway to the world is a tiny door;

It was too small for me to let me outside;

Lonely life with my ant friends I live here.

I always saw people laughing outside;

Smiling, drinking and partying, as I could see;

I screamed for help, 'Get me outta here!';

So many hands flying outside, none for me.

On the verge of losing faith in humanity -

My ant friends been working day and night;

But they ain't enough to make this door -

Big enough to let me out, so I thought.

One day I was awakened by a light bigger;

I felt as though the sun's shone brighter;

Then I realised finally I could get out;

And all thanks to my tiny ants' vigour.

I felt silly and lonely outside even more;

Not one real soul here I can reach and talk to;

Met people icier than ice, emptier than balloons;

Dark cave is where I then buried myself into.
