No Flowers For Me

by Joan Serratelli

very lonely
very unhappy
no-one to talk to
I need human
contact

Always alone
I'm blindsided
all the time
No-one will let
me be me

I'm trying to get by
but they won't be happy
until I'm back at ground zero

Won't do it'Would
rather be dead

I am NOT Charley
I have not come this far
only to go back

I will not back
to a way of life

EVER
For anyone

I'd rather die

I've gotten stronger
now you want me
to go back to
being sick?

NO- I'll never
be 100%
but I'll
settle for
the improvement
I see
