Abandoned

At the core of many of us

There is a little one

Shivering and scared

Holding so much pain

Born in a world that was too much

Where being wasn't enough

Where loving wasn't there

The little ones learned

To live with their fate

Just with a few tricks

Some learned to leave

Into others or into space

Hoping the body will take care of itself

Some learned to hide

Underneath them or with a mask

Hoping that one day they can just be

Some learned to fight

They embraced their fate

Believing in no one but themselves

With all the neat tricks

The pain was hidden away

They buried themselves

With a pile of shame

Awaiting a day

When they can be met once again
