My Midnight Song

This is my song that I sing into the night.

While everyone sleeps and waits for the light.

No one will hear my song nor care of my plight.

But I don’t mind, let them sleep through the stars of night.

I wish not to burden anyone who might be in view.

For my song is a sad one, of pain and rue.

My soul has condemned me to the jesting of others.

I am belittled and crushed by my human brothers.

I would try to please them, but why bother

I am told that I’m loved by the people who trick me.

I guess it’s concealed, why do they wish to hurt me?

Having been broken and bent for so very long.

I wish to feel whole again, and find somewhere to belong.

There are many other things that I wish to say.

But there is no time before the approaching light of day.

So I leave you with this, to all who feel wronged.

I am with you.

Join me, and sing my song.
