Poem of the Day for 04/06/25 Misfits by Alisa Js Sitting here among the wounded Spirits shrouded under these dark, dusty rags, Cast aside by society’s finest Forgotten by those who once cared, Misfits, they're called Guess that makes me one, too... Glancing around this desolate room, there are faces Once full of hope and zest for living, What happened to steal their thunder? With their eyes to the ground and straight ahead stares Looking for nothing, As nothing was there ... The last time they tried to reach up, Grabbing at any chance for reprieve Is there no hope if you've lost that round? Laid bare your soul That life with great purpose, Now, kicked to the curb Sit there! On the outside, without A glimmer of something An answer to prayer Is all that’s really needed, Just one more chance to feel alive again Is that asking too much? Or have we stopped caring? Who listens anymore or bothers 06/16/2006 Visit Alisa Js's Library Misfits Copyright © 2025
