I am like a lamp that has been extinguished,
Tell me, in what effect am I not alone?

I AM ALONE
It felt like I was alone at home,
But in truth, I am alone in the entire city.
Even with a whole caravan beside me,
It amazes me that I am alone on this journey.
There are a thousand admirers, yet
In every gaze, I find myself alone.
I am like a lamp that has been extinguished,
Tell me, in what effect am I not alone?
I will surely find my destination,
If I am alone in my skill and conviction.
