The Clock

Dana Burton 1977 (Anderson)

Acrostic
Quietly, I sit watching the clock,a minute feels like an hour.So much dwells on my mind. I wish I was a bird soaring high in the sky's.Free from all the bitterness that lies from within side.Feelings of sadness surrounds my soul Feelings I can't let go, Noone to talk to,noone who cares,for of their fear,noone dare comes near.

About this poem

This poem in its most form I s a child,who with no family,no hope inside..Is lost and desperate to seek.Someone ,he's lost
