POETRY Reading: Kind of Life, by Derrick J. Johnson

Voice Over: Val Cole

POEM:

On the streets,
Paved in gold,
Is where she roams.

She’s waiting…
Waiting to be.

Into the arms,
Of the cold,
Lies an unknown home.

A blissful place…
That can never be.

Forgotten thoughts,
And memories,
Of what could have been.

Branches out…
Like a broken tree.

And a single tear,
Rolls down,
Her lonely face.

As the wicked…
Spit upon thee.

And all she wanted,
Was a different place,
A different kind of life.

And all she needed,
Was a different love,
A different kind of life.
