![]() CastawayA Poem by Edward BoothI’ve always been a castaway Hurt and abandoned by anyone who crossed me My family couldn’t understand why I’m this way I am a child of chaos My heart was unruled Uncontrolled without a purpose Without love… I was to be a soldier without a cause I sought for peace Only to be betrayed by a “friend” My rage never ceased For ten years… I thought it good to end it all Or to leave everyone Surely no one would remember me.. Or care to tell Then there was one One who I had ridiculed One who showed me kindness unjustified One who was like me She was a jade in a field of thieves She was hurt in so many ways The blood on her arms… Cruel undeserved words from other people on many days… I grew to love her every day. Her blue eyes and beautiful hair Every time I was hurting… She was there I could trust her. Then because of her, I cried… I have to leave her It kills me every night. I hurt her I made her hate me It felt like a curse To hear her say that. I worry I might lose her… Like I’ve lost my other friends I want to keep her near To comfort her It kills. The feeling when you want one person And no-one else But no matter what, it seems impossible. © 2019 Edward BoothAuthor's Note
