I’m a hostage—
Locked away from the world
As I looked outside my window
Of the cold rain hitting the ground
Oh so quickly but oh so loudly
I’m miserable—
As I see the children grow
Walking to class
Getting educated; building a future
I’m abandoned—
Friends coming and going
Like the time of the seasons
They all have favorites
But apparently Fall isn’t one of them…
I’m sick—
People interfering with my day
And letting them do so
I’m grateful—
I have someone who loves me.
That I can share each day
And wake up in the morning
With…alive & breathing…
I’m asking—
How are you?
How do you feel?
Because, I love you…all of you
