a poem entitled True Story [7/9/08]

WHAT could have this beautiful young woman crying so silently on the train?
WHAT was going on in her life and mind, causing her such pain?
WHY did she travel alone no friend by her side?
Surely, at a moment like this when life felt low, she should have someone.. Someone on which to rely.
But 'alas' the fair maiden says 'alas it is me myself and I. I came into this world alone, and alone I shall die.
So don't mind as I silently weep.
Because the explanation to myself I will keep.
Although a lucky few may know the tale.
They lack. To feel my emotion is where they fail.
To no avail, they try.
ALAS I COME INTO THIS WORLD ALONE, INDEED ALONE I SHALL DIE.'
