Left Alone

Left alone Birds sing all around As I walk on down Up the street, down the other Crickets chirp ever so soundly they hear footsteps of dragging feet The bees buzz ever so loudly With a tune like honey It sounds so sweet The smallest of sound can feel my soul The sound and pain in my heartbeat "With those tears, why do you weep?" "Come here my sweet child." "Come here with me have a seat." "why so sad?." "why so gloomy?" I replied with the nicest greet "You are so small a bug a critter, If you don't mind you give me the creeps" Please for me do not feel bitter Go about your business I am the ace who made the mess So move on along There is nothing I want off my chest Move ahead, chirp my sad song For that is the only tune I have passed on Even by the smallest sound I want, nothing more than, to be Left alone. ~SKAT~

Sad. Makes me want to give a hug. But even in that sadness, you have all these beautiful sounds surrounding you. Blessings

...and yet you bring your sadness so beautifully spoken... Though we attempt to hide our pains the outside world does see them... so we must find a way to relieve the pressure of life... Great write... thanks! PR
