I am alone, the worst thing to be.
No one to care for, no one to care for me.
No enemy, not a neighbor who knows who I am,
Cannot remember a family; I never knew any,
Lived amongst many people, but not one took my notice.
I'm without worldly words to tell of my feelings,
And if there were some, they would matter to none.
Now here I lie beneath ancient tree,
Not very far from whence first I came.
Invisible, as if existence ne'er existed for me.
I crawled to this spot; I'm nearing the end.
I'm cold and I shiver.
And will die when it worsens.
It would feel even worse if I were a person.

NOTES
"Free verse is an open form of poetry. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any other musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech." - Wikipedia
"Blank verse is poetry written with regular metrical but unrhymed lines,
Both blank verse and free verse are free from rhyme scheme." - Dictionary.com
