Alienation Poem by Martin Greyford

Neglected,
Rejected by the society,
Forgotten by friends and family,
Nobody remembers that I ever existed.
I'm thrown in the corner of the world
To be by myself all the days of my life
Because of that one simple mistake.

Unemployed,
Homeless in the depths of the dark.
No food to eat and warm clothes
To keep me awake from the coldness
In this winter frost of a snowy day.
How I wish there could be someone
To come to my aid and help me out.

Hated,
Forsaken by my neighbours.
Looked on with scornful eyes like an animal
That the whole county hates,
Because it has been looming about their homes.
Each and every time I meet them
They all run away from me.

Deserted,
Left alone in the rains
With no one to give me un umbrella
To shelter and cover me from shame.
I'm afraid to be around anyone
Especially these people called humans.
I'm a wild animal in their eyes.

Wolf,
Wild dog,
A skunk, is all that they see in me.
I've suffered alienation in the face of humans.
I'm an alien that is feared by
The entire universe in the dark of the night.
Let the sun fall down and burn me up.

Scared,
Afraid of their faces when they look at me.
I'm the mystery maybe that people
Can't really understand like the Bermuda mystery,
Even the best scientists have failed.
Maybe I'm like that to them.

Judged,
Vindicated and sentenced in their minds.
I'm in a prison on the island of fear.
They judge me before getting to
Know the real me from a distance.
I want to be free and walk freely
Like a bird in it's flight.

Light,
Shine brighter so that
These people may get to see the good
Side of me rather than seeing and
Concentrating on the darkest part of my life.
I'm eager to be seen as a human
Not this alien monster they are seeing.
