Affection

This is another poem from long ago, and seems childlike in it's wording and sing song meter. Actually , I don't think much has changed in my style, so I will leave you to criticise it for me.



The world is light and airy,
Inside is dark and deep.
I'm scared and tired and lonely,
Yet, I have no cause to weep.

I can not stay in safety,
I must be brave and strong,
If to know me, is to love me,
Where did I grow wrong?

I'm nicely taken care of,
Neglected? No, not me.
I'm surrounded by a throng of people,
They've just no time to see.

It's not that I'm ill treated,
It's just that I'm alone.
And since I can't blame anyone,
Perhaps the faults my own.
