Nameless

Amidst the crowd she walks unseen

She is nameless, her identity ignored

Unheard is her heart’s lament

And yet she struggles on

She works throughout the insatiable rain

She toils under the grueling sun

Her back is breaking, but the pain

Is incomparable to that of her broken heart

Alone she proceeds along the unending road

They have left her no place to call home

Her tears drip onto her tattered clothes

For her there is no way but onwards

And yet the dismal night passes

And as the gloom lifts before the dawn

The sun comes up on a cloudless sky

Invoking within her the first ray of hope

She smiles, a new day has begun.
