SOLO BY FIONA CUMMINGS


SOLO

BY FIONA CUMMINGS

Loneliness is hard to live with

So much hurt though love you give

You’re invisible being amid

In a vast garden where picking fruits, they forbid

Some say what causes pain, just get rid

Sell off?

Like in an auction

Where you dare not cough

You have been outbid

Such caution

Don’t lift your hand

Just understand

To others behind a wall you’ve hid

They don’t want to find you

You don’t like what is true

Then move on there’s a place for you

Stop trying to fit in

Throw all your rubbish in the bin

Look at your skin so thin

Grow an imaginary layer

On the outside your hair is greyer

Do yourself a favour

Don’t be a player

Make rules for your very own game

Don’t feel shame

For what others do and say

Don’t wait around

Start today
