Its life

by John G. Rawls
(Lumberton, NC)

I tried

I failed

I yelled

I stopped

You left

You gave

You ignored me

You stopped

These tears flow

This anger poors

These cuts gather

What now

Who to blame

Who to hold

Im nothing

Im forgotten

Im hiden

Im cold

These tears fall

This anger poors

These cuts gather

Im alone

Im scared

Im in pain

Its cold

Its dark

Its lonely

Its life
