The Desolate People

Downhearted and d e j e c t e d, feeling completely defected- Woebegone and despairing, a life never repairing. Utterly disconnected, they s i l e n t l y speak undetected. The people of the night are pained, where only heartache remained- C r e s t f a l l e n and downcast, only misery can last. No happiness contained, no atonement refrained. Seen only when they are down, always wearing a heavyhearted frown- Least of concerned and i g n o r e d, living a life so abhorred. Alone in this God-forsaken town, with no one to care around. He knows not a life of adoration, just u n g r a t e f u l for his creation- She knows not a life of contentment, but lives in constant resentment. Until they feel a loving sensation... they will live in utter D E S O L A T I O N. People Poetry Contest December 11, 2017

It is truly sad the number of neglected people; for whatever reason. A beautiful write.
