Left Behind
The world is advancing and travelling to new futures.
Friends and Family growing and reaching new heights,
Taking steps forward and traversing to newfound rights.
Yet why am I not growing?
Why am I not finding new rights?
Why must I stand still while the world is moving?
Why was I left behind?
The Earth is shining and flowing like a stream,
Winding and bending, but always moving to new sights.
Not looking back and slumbering through the nights
Yet why are my nights are sleepless and intermittent?
Why must I station like a motionless pebble?
Why can’t I flow rhythmically like a stream?
Why was I left behind?
It is said that there is strength in numbers,
There is power in togetherness,
Light in brotherhood.
So why do I feel so powerless?
Why do I feel so weak and timid?
Why can I not see any lights?
Why was I left behind?
I have always noticed my world was dark,
I have always felt I was alone.
I call myself a sealed and forbidden book.
Why must I be alone?
Why must my world be so dim?
Why can’t I be unsealed?
Why is it I know the answer to these questions?
I was left behind…
