Young children, fast asleep, softly snoring
Aging slowly, older by the minute
Though I am not ageless, time was freezing
Sad, wary, I am up to my limit
Day by day, all the same, no change for me
Past memories remind me of the pain
Helpless, unable to set myself free
Standing here, alone, no one, I remain.
Love, someone who loves you, a family.
Me? Left in an orphanage at age three
I recall children laughing happily
Calm, I let go of the anger in me
Alas, the past is only memories
Live your life, instead of living to please.
Also, what would be a good title for this sonnet?
