I am the icy cold wind
that prickles your spine
on a hot summer day
I am the old woman
across the street,
so much knowledge
but no one to listen
I am the frustrated child
eager to learn
trying to understand life
but no one to tell me
at night,
I am the feline
hiding in the shadow
listening to all the secrets
invisible to all outsiders
at day,
I am the canine
eager for love and attention
but I look around
and there's no one to give it
