Love Poem: Strayed Sheep

Strayed Sheep

We gather in groups
many to be sequestered as
strayed sheep

Haunted and shunned 
by the societies we love

Who can we turn to 
to ease the burning pain
of neglect and asylum

Who is our border collie
the light to wrestle us in
against the turmoil of everyday life

But still we stay strong 
as it is human nature to endure
and lift ourselves above the suffering 

So even though we strayed
we still love and have matured
to rise above the darkness that prevails
