Poetry

2002
Lynsey Parr, Aged 18
Greenock, Scotland
That's life
Sitting alone in my room
Dogs howling at the moon
Days are slowly slipping by
All alone I wonder why

Rain hitting of the ground
Quite streets all around
Silently the children play
Praying for a better day

Lightning flashes thunder roars
Frantic people locking doors in their houses trying to hide
From the cold world outside

Dark clouds cover the sky
Still in there beds they lie
Dreaming of the people theyll meet
Hoping for a life so sweet
