Transit

My heart is ripped from body
taking with it my ability to love
i feel for no one
and i am nothing but
a simpleton roaming the earth
in high hopes
of finding my leader
i will wait till the day
my almighty lord and savior
will take my life
and put life and meaning back into my soul
giving me a chance to make it in the after life
so i will not always be this way
never loving, and always wishing
others the pain that i have to live with
i shout at others from the corner
of the subway
i spend most of my time in
children come close but only close enough
only to see my eye,
so dark and blue that pierces your soul
with a blanket of film covering it
the adults
look at me with disgust and spit
comments that hit me where it hurts
why cant they just see i am like you
i have 2 eyes
a nose
feet and hands
i may not have a heart but if someone were to love me
maybe theres a glimmer of hope that
maybe that could change my future
and what other people think of me

    The flow seemed a tiny bit off in some places but that was only because some lines were shorter then others and some longer loosing the flow. It was an interesting poem to read and im sure you enjoyed writing this powerful piece of poetry. Keep on writing.~mel
