A Cry of a Lonely Child

I miss my mom I miss my father They are gone, their souls may be gone but their love is what keeps me breathing Though i am being tested and tempted but I'll remain stable and strong I sometimes feel like i am not valid though I have a identity to prove my validity Iam left with me, me to blame, me to depend on myself, me to feed, me to cry to , me to depend on, me to solve my problems I've left school for I wasn't cooling the eyes of the world I've left school for iam poor itself There is no need for you to understand me for there are many who'd been underestimating me There is no need for me to demand for I supply for myself Where are the Bill of rights? I even forgot that I have my own rights, my own voice, and my own words I've been raped and trapped repeatedly and left alone without hope I had no trust nor faith I thought it was the last of my soul only to find out it was the beginning Is life worth living? What kind of a living is that? A cry of a lonely child
