Poor Orphan

Orphan you poor thing Orphan you poor thing, So you are all alone now, no mom, no dad, just you I know dear, I know that in this point in time life seems meaningless I know you feel rejected, unwanted, Could it be because of the people around you? Orphan you poor thing, There you are sitting in a dark room all by yourself, Swimming in a pool of salty water from your eyes Wishing mommy and daddy were there with you. You sit there alone, you fear the dark, and you fear the night, Each night brings you a new terrible reality of nightmares. Out to hurt you? Out to rip you off you who know? They just might. Child, you know by now that all that glitters is not gold, People you thought loved you, will live you out in the cold, The love they had for you when your parents were still alive, That love has suddenly grown old, And like all the old things, the love will vanish into thin air without a trace. And in no time, they will even forget about you child, Worry not my dear, weeping only last through the night, Happiness will come in the morning Soon you will forget that you too were mourning. Poor Orphan When the sun rises, go out there, See what can do, deal with your fears, Wipe away those tears, And see what lies ahead Use your head Think, use your brain, use your intelligence, That my dear is something they will never take away from you. Poor orphan You will work hard and build you old legacy Stop feeling sorry for yourself, hard work surely pays. When they see fruits of your hard work, they will be in pain, They will remember all the bad things they said to you, all your hard work wont b in vain Beyond their expectation, you will be successfully rich, Then they will call you names, among others, they will say you are a witch. But worry not child more insults will come, so will more accusations. They will call you a thief and say you steal, But worry not child for you will heal. You will heal from the low self-esteem, low confidence. Soon you will forgive them because a great future lies ahead Don’t stop working hard in every possible way And you will see poor orphan things will go your way. Remember Poor Orphan, you are not going through this alone There are millions others going through the same worldwide, Self-pity won’t help. Get up and work hard.

Lebohang,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you Linda, well growing up, I did not like poetry very much, infact I did not like reading, its only recently that I found a way of expressing my feeling through poetry! My everyday life inspires me to write poems about life in general. I will read your poems and I will definately give you my views on them. Thank you for being my friend.
