Lonely As Purity (AD Poetry Contest)

I sit alone
Trying to rescue myself
Deep within
Reaching for my soul.

Searching through my thoughts
For anything worthy
At this moment
I wish to scribe about.

My pen is dry
The inkwell, I find deep
Like an endless abyss
I've yet, been able
To wet, my empty plume.

So I think
As I look at myself
On my left arm,
I embrace
A set of crutches.

Against my face,
Staring down
At a snow white cast
encasing my left foot.

Without them, I am unable
To walk
No one signed, their name
Upon it yet.

Lonely I feel, as the purity
Of my snow white cast
Sign it, sign it
Pleasec sign it fast.

Sorry, I have no time
Must move on, have to go
Not having time
Is truly a crime.
