Only Alone If You Allow ItA Poem by DmiA man who sit's by himself most time's At a bar in the same chair he frequents's daily Knowing everyone Remembering all their name's Never asking for their number's Wondering to himself If I never came back Would they notice -Is he alone An old women at the check out isle Just enough food stamps for one She has enough in the cart for half of her self A smile as big as the sun God bless her heart I hope she catches a break Figuring how to turn nothing into something A giant task for her age One I'd hate to take on -Is she alone The child that get's to the game No parent with any dignity to show up Watching them as they compete That change's a kid Feeling unnoticed and unwanted Not mature enough to process those emotion's Feeling's quickly turn into deceit It'll alter their life We all know it -Are they alone That girl who is distant Breaking the rule's She get's punished The school's phone call's get no one Mommy and daddy have been gone for weeks The fridge not holding a crumb She crave's direction Looking around She searches but not seeing anyone Growing up way too fast Fending for herself makes her an outcast Think of that for a minute -Is that girl alone The man on the street Picking through trash The government won't pay his disabilities A war vet who gave his life to a country Are they caring for him and his injuries He's seen enough loss to fill all of our live's Enough pain to punish the guilty What more can he give Finding a can worth a nickel Making his day -Is he alone The girl that work's the corner of 3rd and Watson Every night turning trick's Like anyone she has to eat Her life didn't turn out like she had wished for No prince charming or a glass slipper for her feet Just a kid that she tends too Being there for their every need Teaching them to take a different path Not depending on the people in life Looking to fill their own needs -Is she alone The point here is to not label people We all have stories that cut to the bone Do you know their's Could you walk one step in their shoe's Before tearing them down Putting your hate on blast Refusing to help a person who need's next to nothing Take a step back You're not the only one who's been screwed Walking around in a world That's turned out hard for most everyone Take notice, or imagine the depth Beyond you it come's down to life I think Maybe one you'd rather forget But they will live on with out your trials or judgements Caring only about the next step Kind of like everyone Seem's kind of funny huh Just remember those people that move your soul No matter how small if only for awhile, maybe a gesture We all walk the line of our so called life, hoping -We're not walking alone................ © 2015 DmiFeatured Review
