The Forgotten One
Loneliness consumes me as I return to my ell
Although on earth, this is my own personal hell
I switch on my radio and let the music take me away
So many people I’ve seen come and go, but loneliness is here to stay
So-called friends don’t have time for a convict like me
I wait for my end but I’m at the beginning of eternity
They say, “out of sight, out of mind”, How true!
Since I’ve been confined, I haven’t seen or spoken to you!
My Momma passed away and I was left utterly alone
Family was M.I.A. and there was an ache beneath my breastbone
The pain nearly drove me insane, and it’s been a long run
Not much longer will I be the “Forgotten One”!
