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

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
