Lewis Raynes Poet Quatrain

Refugee

Help, I’m alone, I know no-one here, 
I want to get off this sickening ride,
I need to return back to the place that I know, 
I need to escape to outside,

Where I know I belong, I’m actively valued, 
Where I know how to play by the rule,
Set up by my peers, in the mind that I am, 
Where I know how to play it real cool.

You see, I’m a lone refugee seeking asylum, 
I need a sanctuary away from this pain,
I’m a mental migrant alone in my head, 
With dementia as my friend in my brain.

Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2017 at 11:44 AM Oh, Lewis, a very hard place to be. May God send you comfort, my friend! Lewis Raynes November 13, 2017 at 4:56 PM Hi Kim, thank you so much. This is not a real reflection of me though, I tried writing this from the perspective of someone with this condition, and I wrote it in first person to make it more intimate. Thankyou for your nice words :)
