Alone (Haiku)

by Veronica Ile   Jul 8, 2009


All he prayed for was
someone to recognise him
for he felt away

lost reality
a forgotten sence of soul
felt God did not care

prayers not answered
true worry from all his dreams
he could not wake up

a sad prisoner
locked up in his own mind game
losing at every turn

never finishing
what he thought he once started
finish was unreal

I joined in with him
i tried to help him get there
to the finish line

but i came second
after him and his deep mind
first place he stayed

first place is nothing
when you finish all alone
there is no glory

are you really winning
if you are playing a game
against your sad heart

i will keep trying
to beat you one day, some day
please just let me win
