The One Nobody Wants Poem by Paul Burt

The One Nobody Wants

Rating: 4.0


As I walk the streets, the same streets I've walked my whole life.I Look at all the people around me, seeing how they some of them have a good life yeah I know not all of them are perfect, but I can't help but feel sad when I look at how mine turned out. Oh how I wish things were different for me, but how can I when no one wants to even look my way and when they do they treat me like I'm scum.
Here I sit on the corner trying to keep warm with nothing but the clothes on my back watching people walk past me like I'm not even there then the police come and tell me to get lost can't they see that I'm lost already I'm the one nobody wants
The Rain begins to fall and everyone scatters to find a shelter and here I sit in a doorway the only shelter I have I sit there to keep warm and dry but I'm already soaked from the rain I'm so cold you can see the steam from my body heat come from me the rain continues to fall and watch the water circle the drain just like my life did.
Here I sit trying to keep warm and dry with nothing but the wet clothes on my back once more watching people walk by like I don't exist but I do exist but I'm the one nobody wants.
Winter comes must be Christmas the snow falls everyone is happy playing in the snow or at home with their family, children filled with joy when opening their presents too bad I don't have any of those things my body shakes and is numb from the cold I have nothing left in me I endured all this for years and can't no more
Here I lay in the snow dying with nothing but the clothes on my back watching a family spending time together A tear freezes on my face as my body begins to shut down and covered by the snow no one will miss me or know my name because I'm the one nobody wants.
