Left Alone (Shadorma)

Left alone

Stranded and starving

Walls confine

What to do

Surrounded by tenements

To fend for myself

~

Where am I

Where are my kinsmen

My bright coat

I’m barren

Afraid to show my true self

For fear of the ax

~

True sadness

Shows in every limb

Thin, haggard

Beyond frail

My fate clearly before me

A final fall draws near

    A shadorma written in a tree’s voice — I LOVE this — really hoping the tree can avoid the ax. Well done!

      Thank you, I really don’t know where that came from, but it was the first thing that came to mind. :)
