Sayings Of An Orphan

Anytime I picture myself,
I feel bitter and empty, Like abandoned book on a barren shelf.

I see my reflection on the wide Indian ocean, The only yatch.
I spend days and nights, Searching for something on the streets to eat or drink.
But I spend most nights on an empty stomach, With more than a lot to think.

I'm sick, I'm illiterate!
I'm abandoned with nothing of mine to generate!!
I'm living,Yet lonely.
Lonely and alive, Yet dead.
A living dead.

I see people laughing, And then I think for a while.
It's not worth it, I nod and walk away because I've gotten no reason to smile.
Biologically, I heard my dad was an honest governor,
Stabbed in rally by enermies, And died without a drop of honor.
Mum was sent out of home,
Then, I was only one.
Struggling and busy as a bee, She had an accident,
All because of me, So then, What's the essence?

Most times, I do minor jobs just to own a grain of maize.
At the end of the day, I get hungry enough to eat my nails.
There I am again, beaten by the merciless, Icy rain.
I stand in it till every drop drain.
There again, I get dried in the burning sun.
Oh no! I regret why I'm even born.

I wish to be knowledgeable,
I want to become a philanthropist.
I wish to be loved by all and become acceptable.
My only friend, Loneliness, Makes me feel bitter.
With only God's love and mercy, I get better.
As I quench my thirst with these salty tears,
I'm so hungry to have a wardrobe full of wears.

Getting successful in life seems so impossible.
The pains and hardships are so unbearable.
Doing good and helping others,
That's the little I can, The best I can.
Still, I'm sent away with insults and curses.
Like a miserable housefly, A moron.
I'm accused and refused, I'm blessed with abuse.
All because I'm a lunatic, A begger, An orphan.
