Analysis of "lifeless" a Sonnet
GOD doesn't love me,
people are the same,
ignored life to be,
lest we play this game?
It doesn't matter,
what I write or say,
successful tatter,
has ripped by the sway.
My heart a palm tree,
blowing in the wind,
standing tall to see,
shreds falling life pinned.
Dead decay rotting,
bled never clotting.
