I’AM A KID

I'm just a kid

Bare, in an emotionless world bid

Straying in the dark with the body marks

Seen, but neglected to your eyes!

Can you hear my silent appeal?

Can you hear me screaming for a meal?

Can you hear my stomach growling?

Can you see my dry tears, overflowing?

I have a future, enclosed in my dreams from the years!

I have a dream, enclosed in my tears

I have thoughts. Yes, of course I do

Tortured by physical pain and left in the dark!

My thoughts are crying

Screaming for your eyeing

White clothing leaders colored

With red blooded flood.

I need your help

Don’t make me your whelp.

I'm just a kid

Wishing what all children wish

To be loved, clothed and fed

In a world where my loved ones are murdered

You say good days will come!

You say all are equivalent!

You say we children are the leaders of tomorrow!

Am I one of them?

Will I be more than this someday?

Can I be important and be looked up to?

Can I be able to help?

Can I be president?

Can I be star?

Can I be one among you?

I'm just a kid

Bare, in an emotionless world bid

Please help me

Please bring me to the light
