Write what comes to mind. Any style you choose is fine.
The Other Side…
Cacophony precedes each dreadful day
These shattered souls stay shackled and dismissed;
Despair then beckons her down the abyss
Disdain takes over, leading her astray.
While wary of the endless misery
That shall persist lest she abandons ease,
The yearning for belonging never leaves
But neither does the struggle to be free.
Alone, she trudges to the foreign scene,
Where lively chatter muffles every thought
And broken cobbles prick her trembling feet.
The gentle touch of rain much unforeseen
Reminds her nowhere could be that distraught;
Return would render her worth obsolete.
