His slient prayers echo through the padded walls Another day wasted in this room when he could be in his own room, in his own house His parents will never understand what has happened to him, shunning him. Hiding their children from him, like he is some sort of monster contamination is what they fear but he can not help that he is in a padded room, blocked away to rot in his sickness She stops by the door and opens it he feels a tide of peace envelope him for not all the world shuns him, hides away from him only those with small- narrow minds His silent prayers echo off the padded walls and an angel comes to rescue him.

You know while i was reading this i pictured a mentally retarded child. Often a lot of "normal" kids shun and make fun of mentally retarded children. Some of them in the past have actually been sent to places with padded walls and so on. I don't know but for some odd reason this made complete sense to me. I know you didn't mean in to be that way but i pictured it like that. Great poem!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

That's interesting, because I was actually thinking of a mentally handicapped person, but not a child. Huh. Anyway, good job with the poem  "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Lakewalker http://www.thehungersite.com |
