Abandoned Infant

Thank you for giving me life
Yet so sorry for abandoning me.
The life I battled for and won
To acquire life but of a rational one,
The first glance and glare 
From thy fluffy lap, i longed to zoom the world.
Where is thy lap I longed for?
The plastics as cold as icy snow,
Is it the lap of all mothers?
I cried, tears flowed and dried,
Whose hand come to lullaby me?
Whose shining hands I expected,
Dear mother, it's you I expected
Yet you chose to let me lament,
The world is but so cold and bare
Where detention is forcibly imposed
For crimes I never committed.

Aw I just want to give u a hug. This is so emotional and sad. You persevered despite your wounded soul. Bravo. For some can not write about deep wounds. For this you are courageous.
