LESSONS IN LIFE
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Deep down inside
There is a fire burning
Tears I have cried
I just have to keep on learning
Lessons of life
Trouble and strife
Doors slammed in my face
Finding out I’m at the wrong place
Disillusioned once again
Thinking I had a friend
But no not to be
Another lesson for me
People all around
But still sat on the ground
Dripping water leaking in
Like old rubbish ready for the bin
Trying to do my best for others
But feel like a weed among flowers
Forgotten soul
Shivering in the cold
As if invisible
Until it’s time to once again mock
I need a heart of rock
Sadly not sure how to find that
I’m here to be dispatched
Whenever I’m useful
Sights of grey stones
Nothing beautiful
So alone
Having to be dutiful
Like an existence
I feel no presence
A lost soul perhaps
Like a ghost
What did I do so badly in my past?
Different from most
A freak of nature
Without a future
Used and abused
It’s my culture
