Life of an Orphan

I am an orphan,

It is when creator emancipated,

My parents from His creation,

Crying and praying for the care.

I am an orphan,

It is when, I hold my head to the belly,

In the abandoned home of the busiest city,

Screaming and shouting at the fate.

I am an orphan,

It is when,I went to the orphanage,

In the nights, I woke up due to nightmares,

Peeking and gaping in the dark for motherly touch.

I am orphan,

It is when,I got a blow down my ribs,

I fell down on the ground, testing the degree of pain,

Looking and waiting for the hand on my shoulder.

I am an orphan,

It is when,I was sent out in a school,

Staring at the opened and scattered books on the floor,

Begging and asking for the helping hands.

I am an orphan,

It is when,I was kicked out of the ground,

Gazing at the children playing football,

Searching and walking in my memories for a companion to play.

I am an orphan,

It is when,I was rejected for an alliance,

Dreaming for the beauty I loved,

Running and sprinting away from the soulmate.

I am an orphan,

It is when,I was hanging to the roof,

Saying the world, a tale of an uncared boy,

Hovering and flying to the Gates of Heaven.

I am not an orphan,

It is when,I saw my lights of life,

Playing in the mother's lap,

Kissing the father's cheeks.

I am not an orphan,

Anymore,not anymore.
