From the pit of my coldness <br />You burn me with acid-filled glares <br />Like I am nothing but garbage left to go stale <br />Out here I have no shelter from the rain. <br /> <br />I wander hungrily through familiar streets <br />Looking for somewhere to belong <br />I am labelled as a leper amongst the sick <br />For you do not want to see or hear my pain. <br /> <br />As I stand in the doorway of my despair <br />I watch the world from it’s shadows <br />I have become a phantom with no hope <br />For I have ran out of people to blame.<br /><br />J.A McManus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lost-a-free-verse-poem/
