Katie Doty Poems

I plod down the hallway,
stroking the wall with my left hand.
The infallible bricks are my key to standing up straight.
No longer a deft and remiss child,
...

I have a next door neighbor.
She does nothing but watch me,
I see her through my window.
She's kind of hard to not see.
...

We lost another one of the
good guys this week.
It seems as though our army is dwindling.
He was a good soldier, though.
...

Oh how comical my life must be,
A story of retrogression.
To climb out of fear, ladder breaking,
Then fall into depression.
...

I pump the poison,
Through her veins.
It calms the pain
But tears the brain.
...

A girl came outside,
And kneeled right beside,
A tiny mound of soil.
...

Layla poem

There is an Angel on my shoulder.
She tells me to be brave.
...

I imagine myself far far away;
I want to live a life of my own.
Neither here nor there shall you bother me,
Because I wish to be left alone.
...

Angle of hope; Angel of faith.
What would you like me to see?
Give me the hope, Give me the faith,
Why must you discount my plea?
...

'Please! You said you would
leave me alone! ' She cried as
She tugged on her restraints.
Her red shirt was stained
...
