For The Blues

by Lexi Hilife - Leo

I'm in the farthest part of the playgrond I can find
I feel ugly and so very alone
I don't have a mommmy, brothers, or sisters
Is it possible to be too EMPTY and too FULL
I am pretty sure I am 
I am not really ugly to look at; but the lonely part is 
real and completely true
Who cares?
You have friends who treat you fair

I'm in the farthest part of the playground no one sees
I am only six, but it feels like i'm way past a hundred
Playing tic-tac-toe all by myself
How could I possibly ever lose
Cause games for two, played by one 
Is cleary the recipe
For the biues

Reason for writing:

    I didn't have nice clothes,nor friends. My father was a 
fugitive,and in a strange way so was I, the pain never seems to go away no matter how hard intellectually,or 
emotionally. I try. Even though he's dead and gone, and I let the secret go to the grave for the shame I thought belonged to me. THE GHOST LIVES ON !
