Stranger

A Poem by Marlena
"

Hey Stranger, walking down the street, what's your name?

"

Hey Stranger,

walking down the street

what's your name?

Hey Stranger, hope no one sees you

walking down the street

with your head down

bearing the wind

the rain is a friend of yours

Hey Stranger,

Does anyone know your true name?

Doesn't anyone know you?

Hey Stranger,

give me a rhyme and I'll sing you a song

Hey Stranger,

give the time and I can be a friend.

Yeah....There's this lady in my town that is a patient at the mental institute (it's shut down but there are houses on the property for the patients) and I see her walking literally EVERYWHERE so when I saw her coming out of the library all of the sudden this little voice in my head said "Hey Stranger" and I thought "Damn....POEM TIME!" so....yeah XDDD What do you think? Comments? Crit?
