A Small Cry

Notice: Not a personal experience
Brutal language

No childhood for this one
In case you couldn't see
Daddy never arrived
Mommy never seen

Sisters tried
To give me happiness and hope
Teach me things
That'll help cope

I didn't play
With all the other kids
Sat alone at a tree
Where all others forbid

Brutal words
At home and school
A comforting kitty
Of whom, did drool

Family was big
To all others
But I didn't have
A father or mother

Left me alone
On a front porch
In blistering snow
I nearly became a corpse

A small cry
I was once heard
Adopted unknowingly
It seems absurd

Always wondering
Why they left me
Labeled me an outcast
Never to be free

Or why they never cane
See how I hated it
The foster homes
Were a real piece of shit

Why didn't they keep me?
Was I not to their standards?
Was I too much?
Or were they bastards?

Why no words?
Am I not worthy?
Or are they too busy
For their child now on the street?

Beaten blue
In the last so called home
But they all said
I'm accident prone

Would they care?
Have they ever?
Why can't they be mine?
Are others better?

What are they like?
Do they remember me?
If they did, would they return?
Or turn around and leave?

Alone in the alley
Unloved and beaten
Of happiness, love, and life
I've been cheaten
