Sad Solitude

By: Mariam Vázquez

Drumming to my chest,

My heart does me a reproach

And in the emptiness of the night

I crush my dreams to the soil,

Unable to find the comfort

To ease my sad solitude.

Why I cannot find

The solution to this exile

From friends, and people,

Or my desires to carry on?

How much would I like to finish

With this unhappy feeling

That just burdens me

And makes me suffer. .

And makes me cry…
