6. Hermit

(Inspired by Metallica’s One)

Every day to me seems a dream,
But this dream’s like a nightmare.
Everything is growing dim,
But I really don’t care.

Many people on the streets,
But from them I’m different.
I don’t accomplish any feats,
I have not got this trend.

I can’t tell you why I’m sad,
Why there’s so much grief inside.
Maybe, they think I am mad,
For I have something to hide.

Nobody can understand
What I say — it’s not a cram.
Many people just demand,
Paying is not for them.

I am living in this world
Like a hermit in a cave.
Maybe, I’m just very cold,
But don’t want to be a slave.

In that way all life can pass,
I can’t change it, yes, it’s true.
Maybe, I need a simple death,
I don’t know what to do.
