Sorrow has found me this day.
Sadness left its mark and it's never going away.
Tears in my heart, burning like a acid-
Creating a hole so deep, impossible to heal.
Sitting on the subway
A world of fun awaits- just a few more stops
Lotte World.
Man gets on.
Middle aged, back bent, Legs distorted
In pain
Grunts, incoherent words
I don't understand.
I am afriad.
My eyes lower, ashamed.
Piece of paper-Korean
Onto my lap.
What does it say?
Others looks away- No help there.
Out of the corners of my eyes-
Man leans over rail
Is He crying? Or is it the sweat of pain
dripping down his face?
Man comes back
I hand the paper back
A stolen glimpse of his broken face-
Pain, desolation, suffering
Wanting.
A broken MAN.
A broken ME.
This experience has touched me so deep, I have no way to explain it coherently. I hope that my poem speaks for itself.
