Reign o’er Me
He didn’t have a traumatizing childhood. He didn’t have a lover who’d left him. He didn’t have children that had died in his arms. He didn’t have a wife withered from a wasting disease. He had not killed anybody. He wasn’t enslaved or mistreated. He hadn’t suffered a great loss to mourn. He hadn’t have a great loss to regret. He wasn’t alone. He wasn’t unloved. He wasn’t alone.
But he feels alone. He is sad. He is without cause and without goal. He is alone, because he doesn’t know otherwise.
