Hope

The sun shines bright
But my way is clouded

There's so much love
All of it avoids my heart

Arrows fly and hit their target
My heart can't leak tears anymore

There's so much pain
But no rain falls

I reach out for help
But I'm ignored

A common person
Someone you don't know

Yet you see I have nothing
But the clothes on my back

My food are scraps
My water is the rain that falls

My teeth are missing
Some even black

My hair is filthy
But I can't bathe

No one has showed mercy
I'm ridiculed and a scapegoat

I've been pointed fingers at
Laughed and whispered at

Kicked and beaten
Misused and almost killed

Yet I still reach out and hope
That someone will show mercy
