I am…

I am a zebra with no stripes,

I am a table with no chairs,

I am isolated on an island,

I am a doughnut with no icing,

I am Toby with no glasses.

I have eyes that don’t cry,

I have muscles that don’t work,

I have a heart that can’t love,

I have a body that has no happiness,

I have a garden that never grows.

My body shivers in fear,

My fists clench in anger,

My muscles are weak in sadness,

My body has no soul on the inside,

My feelings were taken long ago by hatred.

I wonder if my garden will ever grow,

I wonder if I will feel happiness again,

I wonder if my fear will drift away,

I wonder if hatred will climb me again,

I wonder if love will occur.

By Ben and Toby.
