The Stranger

The Stranger

A Poem by Miles Wilburn
"

Read and see :)

"

I walked into a familiar room
and saw a stranger there
he sat quiet looking at me
with a distant piercing stare

"What's wrong my friend?" I ask concerned
And he simply says "I've become a burden to the world."
When I wake it isn't waking, but one step closer to the end.
I walk alone always faking, believing that I'm real
however, I'm so broken I can't even feel.

I single tear rolls down his face and his lip begins to quiver
I walk over to embrace him, but i bump into a mirror.

Whoa!

Great rhyme and reason and meter. You obviously put some effort into this one, getting your point across while divulging the despair we all sometimes fee.

Thanks for sharing!BZ
