I AM HERE

By Shae Croft

I am here when the wind howls.

I am here when the sun shines.

I am here in all the changing seasons.

Rejected

Forgotten

Desolate

Alone

I am here like a disused treasure.

Discarded in the cold damp earth.

Buried in shame,

Without dignity,

Without a history,

Without a voice,

Without a choice,

I am here

Neglected

Ignored

Forsaken

Untended

My humble mere existence marked by a chewed up dog toy, long since abandoned.

I am here humiliated,

I am here dejected,

I am here,

I AM HERE.
