People Like Me

People Like Me

written by: Henry Bladon

Everywhere there are people like me.
        Gentle but fragile.
                Worrying

about everything and nothing.
        
One day I will be whole and enjoy 
        the lightness I used 
                to know.

Before I was like this.

I have dreams
        to drink again from
                a pure stream.        

When things will be okay.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

This is a poem inspired by 'My Little Underground', a piece by Dutch artist Marcel Herms.
