For
Iago
By Laura Muench
You
went through so much,
Had
to bear agony, fear and contempt.
Thinking
this would be meant for you,
A
life full of hate, evil and pain.
Though
you kept persuading yourself,
That
you would love this life
Of
false wealth and power,
You
knew deep inside,
That
you were alone,
All
the time.
And
then, a boy came up,
Showing
you the wonder of friendship and love,
And
revealing your hidden heart of gold,
Which
was long forgotten.
You
never knew
The
feeling of being wanted, loved.
You
never felt
The
worth of your little life,
And
the caring for other lives.
Till
this boy showed you
The
way out of the dark.
And
so you found your long searched family
In
this boy and his friends.
And
so you "became good",
Or
like they call it.
And
so you "got happy",
At
least it is what they think.
But
I'm afraid that,
No
matter how often they've saved you,
No
matter what fun you might have with them,
No
matter even how much you care for them,
You're
still alone.
For
they could never know,
What
life you had before.
For
they could never understand,
Why
it's so hard for you to trust, to show your real feelings.
For
they could never feel,
Just
the way you feel.
So
I just wish you could know,
That
I am here,
Feeling
sad for you,
Who
had to suffer more than he had deserved.
Appreciating
your hidden heart,
Which
is not easy to see.
Admiring
your unbroken strength
To
care and trust.
And,
most of all,
Knowing,
understanding,
And
sharing
The
loneliness in your heart.
So
I just wish you could know
That
I am here,
For you.
