As night seeps in to end the day
I find myself once more alone,
I struggle with my solitude now
As my heart has turned to stone.
***
I cry at the world’s unfairness
Was this my fault or was it fate,
The natural sounds once loved
Now fills my heart with hate.
***
A cat’s meow breaks the silence
An answer in kind fills the air,
A bird takes up the chorus
How I feel, they neither care.
***
I sit here and I think and ponder
Do you feel any of this pain,
Or has your love totally vanished
No chance of coming back again.
***
I will stay and endure my loneliness
As it will give me the strength to live,
I’ll also pray to the Universe
That you’ll find a way to forgive.

About the Creator

A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
