Alone is a place
I know so well
It’s the place I dream
The place I dwell
It gets dreary in here
And I get scared of the dark
But my flame isn’t extinguished
You should see my spark
People pass by
But they cannot see
All the color of life
Right inside of me
Come take a look
You’ll see that it’s true
I have a heart
Just like you

It saddens me how many people don’t take the time to look and see, to listen and hear.

I know…. I think I’m partial to it because I experienced a life of poverty throughout my childhood. My mother always taught me to give, even when it meant having nothing left for yourself.
