The Place Where I Will Not Go

my feet slapped the ground and Raindrops danced around Tears slid down my cheek And melded with the rising creek I didn’t know where I would go, I knew where I wouldn’t though, I wouldn’t go to that place all alone The place that doesn’t truly feel like home The place where eyes are not met and feelings are not felt Hands are not held and hearts do not melt The place where people do not see what is going on with me And everything is overlooked you see, People do not look into the eyes of others They just look down at the ground All around they see But they don’t see me

Ryan, whether fictional write or from a personal stance, this was a moving poem and verses two and three were especially poignant. Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success in the contest.
