Lonely Man by Brielle Solberg

I see a lonely man standing in the sun

My mother says, “It is a beautiful day.”

Not to him

The sun does not make him happy

 

I see a lonely man standing under the stars

My mother says, “It is a peaceful night.”

Not to him

The night stars do not bring him peace

 

I see a girl judging the lonely man

She tells him rude things

Saying that he can not enjoy pretty things

Because he is not a pretty person

 

I disagree with the girl

 

I see the lonely man dancing in the rain

My mother says, “It is an ugly day.”

Not to him

The day is beautiful to him

 

I agree with the man
