Human Missed

a poem by Elaine E. Howie

Who can I talk to when I want to cry?
I feel like it is useless and I want to die
Who do I tell all my secrets to?
Why I am sad and what I must do

Who do I call my buddy are friend
Who do I ask if it’s okay again?
Who do I talk to who do I tell
Who do I want to trouble with this hell?

Who do I laugh with and say it’s all right
Who do I want to hold me close at night?
Who do I share with my fears?
Who do I have to wipe away my tears?

Who do I ask for good advice?
Who do I confront with today’s drudgeries knife
Who do I ask my days to feel?
Is God my savior still at the wheel?

He assures me that he hears
But I want someone that is near
Someone physical to whip me in shape
Someone that on their chest wear a save a cape

I don’t know who that would be
I feel alone and as I take of my tea
I don’t have anyone to hear my prayer on the wind
I should have a friend
But I have no one that will hear me but god in the end
