Do You Know Me

Alas alas the time has passed The world she knew was gone She wandered here, she wandered there For she knew of no one Why could she not remember how she came into this world? A ma? A pa? A brother dear? Her voice she must make heard So on and on she carolled from one stranger to the next And as she went, her mind she bent and became so perplexed None would stop to answer her, no, not one soul Of who, and what, and why she was now stranded in this world Do you know me? Do you know me? She watched as strangers passed Do you know me? Do you know me? She stood in front a glass Do you know me? Do you know…. She stopped dead in her tracks For what she saw, or couldn’t see No one was looking back

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Shantel Chariandy, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
