Where I've been or what I knew
You don't know the miles I've walked
By myself, no one to talk
You don't know how low I've been
Shuffling feet, slack-jawed grin
You don't know the wars I've waged
Sometimes winning, sometimes caged
You can't know the pain I feel
What's imagined, what is real
See, you don't know the scars I wear
You don't know, you might not care
Yet you don't know how high I soar
Picked up wisdom, learned to roar
No you don't know my heart's true song
You haven't known me all that long

Excellent work ♥ Lori (formerly Zona)
If only everybody realized the truth in this poem.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Well done.
Amazing poem, but very true! I always wonder at seeing old people, all by themselves; how life would have dealt blow after blow, especially on those vulnerable. Some have vacant eyes, maybe waiting for liberation - siva
A very powerful poem Langley! Fabulous
Wow Langley. Awesome! Happy Holidays.
Loved your poetic way of warning the judgmental folks out there.
Excellent:)
You just wrote the wisdom of the ages. Jesus taught us not to judge people whose situations we don't understand. I've had that happen to me and it is very painful. Thanks.
