The Ghost
December 30, 2013
She lingers
in the corner,
waiting,
to be spoken to
to be laughed with
to be loved.
But she knows,
they will never let her in
never speak to her
never laugh with her
never love her.
Stripped of
her courage
her dignity
her pride,
she roams
aimlessly,
wanders
sullenly.
A stray dog,
an abandoned orphan,
a lonely beggar,
a torn soul
all too long.
For she is the ghost
amongst the devils
of men.

many people feel this way. some only have the illusion of isolation, while others are forced to have the real thing. i read you side comment about cather in the rye after i read the poem, and this is actual sociaty of today. but you probably already know all that im sayin :) nice poem. i liked it.

Wandering, drifting, I came upon a poem. Scared, dazed, I quivered with the ghost. Determined, intrepid, I commended your work.
