You no longer smile <br />My poor unfortunate child <br />Tears replace your grin <br />Falling rapid and wild <br /> <br />Your repose replaced <br />By foreign anxiety <br />Caught in a web <br />Of lies and notoriety <br /> <br />You walk through life <br />Like it's a story <br />Wrapped up in chaos <br />Inside this blaze of glory <br /> <br />Damaged by perception <br />You're trapped inside <br />No way to escape <br />This hungry riptide <br /> <br />Poor unfortunate child <br />It'll all be over soon <br />Then you can break free <br />From your make-shift cocoon<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/52-poor-unfortunate-child/
