Breathing Life
August 22, 2015
Such a thing to see
A breathing bond of ecstasy
Shadowed within her faraway eyes
Sparkling with tears that never dry
The water flows
the flowers grow
But nothing can ever change
A look so down
her permanent frown
a forever unwinding phase
many could see
that she may be in need
of a warm and friendly hand
But stuck in their lives
nobody obliged
to an unfamiliar demand
How could one so young
ever overcome
The place from whence she came?
a place with no life
only anger and strife
with nobody else to blame

Explanation: This is a poem about the selfishness of society, too caught up in their own lives to truly understand the pain that others may be going through. The girl in this poem represents suffering and the people who pass her by without a second glance represent what we have become.
