We Are Orphans

When there is no original family,
no grandparents, no parents,
no uncles and cousins,
we are fundamentally alone,
alone in the world...
It's time to create
the neo-original family,
ours...
Once we're orphans,
will have of our creation
those who will be our orphans...

I was born with no one . No parents to scare away fear or cast fun. Thinking ,the voice in my head is father. The sky and clouds are my sisters and earth is my mother . Took me too long . I finally found I was wrong . I was an orphan with no dad or mom. Nor can I tell if it is a virtue or a dam.
