Ode to London

Oh, misery! how I feel I have grown so old from the time I last stood under your heaven.
I promised to be loyal to my friends and distant to those
who have disappointed and me down in the past.
Oh misery, what a faulty oath have I taken!
Everything now seems so different, so alien.
And so I begin to yearn to return back to the days in London,
when everything made sense, when life didn't feel so derelict as now.
As now when I find my family strangers, silence replaced mirthfulness,
when I feel so hopeless and alone.

So alone in this moment that I wish to escape this merciless world
for a long instance in a forgotten forest,
whence I shall feel so peaceful with sweet Nature surrounding me.
