The gull
giving loneliness
sound.

————————————————
You are alone
Although you won’t think so
Because today is your birthday
But you cannot have a party
Or play with your friends
You could go to school
But only with your brother
And one other
In the hospitals
Where your mum and dad work
The alone
Have loneliness cast upon them
But this time will not last forever
You will have other birthdays
To elaborate on the beauty
Of being alone
