My Life As A Person

Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)

Life has so little joy
Just like a broken toy

With its ups and downs
With so few good turn arounds

Expressions of life
Make you cry
Expressions of life
Make you wonder why

Why anyone so lonely
Can happen to be free
How anyone this lonely
Could only be me.
