Forgotten Prairie

this forgotten prairie surrounded by forgotten faces has grown roots around my feet trapping me under the silent sun my blood runs green gazing at the birds high above watching them leave this withering land they taught me how to fly but I'm buried in this sand I wish I could run I wish I would scream but nobody can hear me not even in my dreams it's no use this land laid claim to me life goes on without me she left me behind she didn't notice when my feet caught in the wild grass it shouldn't make me so upset for where would I go who would listen nobody because I have a forgotten prairie in me
