Poem: I Sit

i sit
watching the steady
river of life
as it
flows past me

i see
hopes
dreams
colours

all i ask is a moment of
kindness

but even that
they do not give

all they see is
shame

i am
nothing

they are
everything

why should they care?

i sit
watching the steady
river of life
as it
flows past me

and no one looks my way
