A Walk Through My Mind
Going around the block.
This street used to be inviting -
now it is run down, dilapidated.
Crumbling walls and cracked sidewalks.
Time was when I could walk through here
and feel safe
enjoying the scenery.
It isn’t safe nowadays.
Easy to get lost.
What a shame – that house used to have love in it.
And over there, one could always go to relax.
The respectable neighbors moved away a long time ago –
Joy, Reason, Beauty, Faith.
It started when Heartbreak moved in down the street.
There goes the neighborhood
Next thing you know, Doubt and Anger
were yelling at the little kids
“Keep off the grass!”
Keep out-
you might get hurt
