Here`s A Hankie

There's safety in solitude

I keep to myself.

No friends come to visit me

I sit on the shelf.

Affection was discouraged

And never received-

Never- in all my childhood!

Why was I conceived?



Yes, I had a home - a house

With no love in it.

I had the necessities.

Have you a minute?

That's as long as it would take

To fill you in well

On all the love in my past.

Yeah, my life was hell.
