Lone Tears

Sixth Task: Child Prodigy
Imagine being a child prodigy who is not understood by people around you. You long for friendship and a normal life. Write a poem describing your life. Insert the title of your poem.

My approach is to write a poem from the third person's point of view, assuming that I am a child prodigy expressing myself as someone else so that people don't know the person in the poem is actually me (like what Britney Spears did with 'Lucky')


Lone tear, lone tears
That's all she sheds
In the building rear
Behind the shadows of the room
She lurks amidst the woodworks' gloom.

Lone tear, lone tears,
For a mind so bold
No one can understand
In a heart that's old
And weary from the taunts of man.

Lone tears, lone tears,
Bitter and cold
She shed her tears.
