Born Then Abandoned

Born then abandoned
                                          I'm sorry
                                  but this is my story
                            I was born then abandoned
                                  inside the rubbish bin
                                       so little, so thin
                                         loudly crying
                                    from hunger dying
                       abandoned by the flesh of my flesh
                     abandoned by the bone of my bones
                                   people without noticing
                                just threw food leftovers in
                                I became breakfast for ants
                                           lunch for worms
                                and supper for Cockroaches 
                                    As no one heard my cry
                               the only thing left was to die
                                              life ended
                                         heaven opened
                              as I was born then abandoned.
