Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Dying Young

Crouching in a corner,
Hiding under a blanket,
Sucking my thumb,
I escape into the
carefree world of my childhood!

Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2015 at 12:39 AM ahhh, this sounds like my sisters . they were still sucking their thumb at age 8. Under the blankets. cute one. Abdul Malik Mandani January 16, 2015 at 4:17 PM No matter where or "somewhere" I go, I just could not get out of my mind the stress and strain. It's only by going back to my days of youth, I am able to feel FREE.
