THE LONERA Poem by Anny AkpanIts 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. © 2016 Anny AkpanAuthor's Note
