A simple man once told me, <br />as i stood on the road of life, <br />while holding my big box of happiness, <br />trying to pick out, <br />all the bad and the strife, <br />he said' if you live in a house, <br />and its beautiful amazing and new, <br />it will mean absolutely nothing, <br />if the foundation is infested with, <br />rats and bugs, <br />things eating it inside the walls, <br />do you understand child, <br />do you know what I'm saying? ' <br /> <br />I stared at him, <br />with my, <br />glossed over eyes, <br />the ones that say, <br />' hey dude, <br />get out of my mind' <br />I was so sure, <br />of myself, <br />with my glossed over face, <br />the one that told everyone, <br />i was in my right place. <br /> <br />He simply smiled and patted my head, <br />for to him I was a child, <br />he looked into my eyes, <br />and saw me for who i was, <br />he new my life hadn't been fair, <br />it was a life with no love.<br /><br />Sandra jacks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loveless-life-3/
