Analysis of Cant i Be Left Alone?
-as i keep standing
-in the mist of the world
-and i gazed through
-the roving sky
-and smelling the scents
-of the willing winds
-lost in the thoughts of life
cant i be left alone?
-left and right
-front and back
-the winds of life blows
-both cold and warm
-with its strange wings
-runnig against my blood
-in its carefree mood
-not minding my red pains
-carring the burden
-of the whole world
-in my little lonely head
But cant i be left lone?
-why do the world
-only remembers me
-when they need my hand?
-i say why cant i be left alone?
