A Letter From Planet Earth


Dear future reader, 

I hope you are eager 

For the tale of my life. 

This is a tale of stife, 

A tale of heart break, 

A tale of give and take. 

 

I journeyed long and traveled deep, 

And my most deepest sorrows did keep 

In the recess of my heart, 

So as never to be picked apart 

By an indelicate person I meet. 

It is with vagueness I greet 

You who reads these lines. 

In which are contained the signs 

Of trial and tribulation.  

 

When I was young I suffered starvation, 

Hungry for food as well as love.

Abuse is a thing I was victim of, 

But I was auspicious. 

I escaped and became ambitious. 

I created a life dedicated to bettering the species of theworld. 

 

Perhaps you shall not hear my story in a textbook told. 

Perhaps for my work I shall not achieve fame,

But there is more than that to this life game. 

As long as I can serve another, 

As long as I can serve a sister or brother,

Than my life shall be complete. 

 

I hope you enjoyed the story on this sheet, 

Panet Earth
