His every waking day is pain.
His every thought is one of endless release.
His every feature is hideous,
A blessing from Satan.
He yearns to sleep like a baby.
And have a true love,
And a small cottage,
East of the Thames.


The author's comments:
I love reading about historical figures and I am particularly interested in The Elephant Man. I was thinking about his life, and this piece was the result.
