What Child Is This---
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
I was created by the most high God
I was elided when I was born
I am hurt
I felt no worth
Never have I been endorsed
I am a child of the ninth month
Have two brothers one live, one dead
All three of us birth exactly 9-months apart
I am hurt
I feel nothing
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
First brother born still born died
Second brother birth premature retarded/blind
I am hurt
I felt no worth
So I started, was catubolted
Into being the oldest
You see I had to care for him
The blind child born retarded and blinded
What child is this
And why does he exist
What kind of God would allow
And why does this world insist
That I be like it
When I just want to be myself
Haven't got knowledge nor patients
Can't even take care of myself
Out of breathe I'm not worth it
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
Why must this universe and this world dictake
That I must feel like this, why must God allow this
All as a young child just wanted this...
I should have been I wish I was then
Instead being the youngest placed in the spot of... the eldest
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
Instead of hatred I wanted to be loved
And just to be left alone
But to late the harm and those wrongs were done
What kind of God would allow
And why does this world insist
I was created by the most high God
I was elided when I was born
I am hurt
I felt no worth
I don't understand what hate is
Had to grow up fast I was just a kid
I am a child of the sixties
Hurt by society
Was the youngest but had become the oldest
This not normal, hurt by society
Was the youngest but had to become the oldest, quick
Still over powered, felt like I wasn't wanted
Inside my thoughts thinking I was haunted
As I take my next breathe
As I come out my emotional closet
In my minds mins I ask the question, yes...
WHAT CHILD IS THIS
