Jackie Manuel Poet Rhyme

Poor Lonely Me

Woke this morning to a lonely bed
Rolled over and scratched a lonely head
Went to the beach to watch a lonely sea
Instead a lonely sea watched a poor lonely me
Tried to walk down a quiet street
And it rained on poor lonely me
Dipped my sorrow in ice cream
That only made me hate being me
Stood on a bridge and waited for glee
Instead depression shadowed me
So i closed my eyes and went for the leap
Hoping this jump would set me FREE!!
