In this cornfield, i am a lonely scarecrow on a stick who stands alone. My straw-stuffed form, a mockery of life, yearns for the warmth of companionship that the winds of neglect deny me. Each day, I watch the world dance by—laughter echoing from afar, birds soaring freely, while I remain tethered to this forlorn post.

My patched garments cling to me like faded memories, a testament to endless days and nights spent in silent vigil. Oh, how I tire of the crows that mock my existence, their cackles a cruel reminder of the isolation I endure. I dream of a life beyond this wooden cross, where I could tread the earth with purpose, not merely to frighten away feathered intruders.

The sun dips below the horizon, casting shadows upon my weary frame. As darkness descends, I whisper to the moon, my only confidant in this spectral symphony. Alas, my silent plea remains unanswered, and I stand, a lonely sentinel in a sea of endless emptiness.
