Slam On The Brakes

Despite everything, she goes back... to a dangerous hot country; her childhood home.

The heat comforted me, but yet when doing so... also cautioned my reason for ever being here.
Here in a nameless country that I have unreowned, have come to alone.
The time moved unwillingly, I contemplated reality... evaluated my past and thought out my future.

There was no doubting my perplexed outlook on life.
For I have been forsaken, a lonely castoff as my family departed.
Merely expired, as each and everyone of them seeked refuge...
And I have no reason in thinking i'll find them.

I'm used to this life though... But i still feel alone, unwelcomed in someones home.
Screaming out the lives i'll  never know, visiting a country I had once blossomed in,
those years i wish and will to be here, just one more time.

Yes, i know i'm just an outcast...
So, show me the mercy I can't find on earth.
Help me find the ones i've lost, all for my own unforsaken loss.

Author's Note

This is in dedication to the people less fortunate than I.

This is a decent poem - sad and sincere, I think you managed to describe the situation on a storytelling way while keeping the poetic values of it.
And I believe that sometimes we may even feel like outcasts while we're at the place we've known for years.
Good job.

this shows despair and abandonment. you expressed it well. great job.

seems we are always looking for our selves... always lost on a path we intended or didn't, always wishing for company in our dark.

Life does suck sometimes. If this is about discrimination it's something I'm strongly against and this poems means a lot if it is.

Well done! Another good write!

At one time or another, sentiments we've all experienced--feelings so very well expressed, here.
A melancholy reminiscence, Siena, that touches the heart uneasily and clearly impacts the spirit.
A more than worthwhile offering!

This poem is a very stark reminder of the struggles of humanity...At some level we all relate to being abandoned or cast out in one form or another...All be it the forces of nature or the actions of human form...."Once there was a way to get back homeward" if we got there only the present moment remains because the past we cling to has vanished only leaving it's traces now. Kudos for your dedication to the less fortunate...Well done.

Going back to a childhood home is never quite what we imagine it to be. What we are really looking for is the people and that certain period of time that we once lived in; this poem captures those feelings. This is beautifully written, keep up the good work!

"Yes, i know i'm just an outcast...
So, show me the mersy I can't find on earth.
Help me find the ones i've lost, all for my own unforsaken loss. "
It is sad to return home and have no-one left. I enjoyed the story and I like the closing lines to this poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
