The Plea of a Wounded Soul — Undoor Benjamin
Folk Song
THE PLEA OF A WOUNDED SOUL' By 'Undoor Benjamin' Like a refuse, I am thrown into a waste bin Without a second thought. l am ignored, Like one with a mental disability. I tried lowering the green grass, To beautify the garden, Yet, I lacked water's support. Flowers can no longer play their part, Gifts are no more valid. No eyes behold my worth, No mercy grants a second chance, No listening soul attends my cry. I taste the emptiness of love's retreat, And feel the weight of unbearable hatred. The shadows of love alone, I can't play under, And pretend I am loved. Love exists when both partners requite. The moment one is left alone to love, It evokes the presence of heartbreak; And unbearable pain. How do I please the pierced heart? I am emotionally touched. My state is no longer at ease, I am going astray. Hear me out, the heart breaker, Requiting heart is all I seek.
