THE LONER

THE LONER

A Poem by Anny Akpan
"

Its a true feeling

"
With water rushing down
From those stone like balls
With a twisted face
I try hard to see his tooth
But all to no avail
Baptised in his tears,
His face looks weary
Alone with his thoughts
He watches the world
Others seem to be enjoying
He sights the pasture but can't feed from it
He thinks of himself as been alone
With every pain life inflicts on him
He bleeds red water
The loner
Feels unwanted
He feels useless and worthless
Death wants to befriend him
But yet he wishes to befriend life even though life treats him terribly
The world thinks he's a failure
But can something good come out Bethlehem?
Yes! something good did
But I wonder if anything good can yield out from the loner
My answers still seem foggy
But yet I see a beam of light in it.
