Wasted Upon The Ground Of Life Poem by Kaila George

The streets of life are real
For those of us who learn
What it's really like
To be wasted and alone

In the mire of mud
You watch as life goes by
You wonder who they are
Those that pass by

Your earthly remains
You try to gain control
Of the normality in life
Only to drown
In your burdens of old

The shadows of life
Pound upon your soul
You duck, you fight
What you think is right
Only to learn
It's just an imaginary foe

And then you start to laugh
At the audacity of life
How dare they all ignore you?
Wasted upon the ground of life
