My Life

i was a forgotten child

i was left alone 

beaten and bruised 

not cared for 

just left in the dust 

when i was old enough

i left home found a 

new place where i 

wasn't forgotten 

but one day i was 

people started calling me names 

i just ignored till one day 

i fought back started 

not caring just forgetting and 

moving on but they

 still called me names and

i fought back was in 

big trouble and 

waited my life away 

i still have dreams

 they aren't big because 

i am working on 

the strength to believe 

but i'm still an

upside down and a forgotten child

Author's Note

The poem portrays the life of this boy very beautifully. Its deep and has a lot of pain in it. HUman being is a social animal and the only thing which can scare him is exclsuion and ignorance. You have beautifully portrayed that. Calling someone bad name is not only an act of crime but also insulting. One one has to fight back for justice and equal treatment. Nicely written. :)
