The Miserable Poem by Lex Leon

The spark of life ignited to oblivion
A useless piece of paper my life was written on
Kind words I’ve never heard, I must confess
When you caressed and loved your children
I begged for food, freezing to death
Please don’t glance away in my presence
What have I done, I can’t be guilty
My soul is dying, time is of the essence
Why did you abandon me, for what
Where’s my hearth, my home, it can’t be gone
You don’t acknowledge my existence
But I’m your brother, I’m a human being
Just steps away from conquering the distance
To Gods of yours you pray eternally
Then comes forgiveness softly, firmly
O, if only I could find the strength for once
I’d get my answers, expand my view
You knew the love your mothers gave you
But I never did, and only once a while in a dream
My childish, golden dreams
My dear mom appeared like a saint
O, mother, if I could only find you
Never again my destiny will be constrained.
