I Am No One a Vets Story

I am no  one The man alone at the alter holding the wilting rose I am no one Trapped within this pain only God and i alone know. I am no one. Standing alone at the bus stop in pouring rain i am no one Waiting behind you i hear you slander my good name I am no one Who waits on hold for hours and hours I am no one Who keeps silent as you abuse your power I am no one The lost soul slipping through societies fragile cracks I am no one From this tormented mind theres just no coming back. I am no one The stranger who passes that you wont look in the eye I am no one The one you constantly reject and deny I am no one Buried deep beneath the unmarked grave I am no one Who died on foriegn dirt so freedom could be saved I am no one.

Wow, how can that be? A mighty poem ... you are more than meets the eye. Carl, lonely places bring the worse thoughts to mind. A man waiting to be saved. Hugs...Linda
