What do you see,
a child sitting in the dark
with no one to talk to.
Left alone in a place we call life.
Dressed in old rags,
judged on the outside
but happy as can be.
A child
who can no longer
keep the engine running
with just 2 months left.
Look further beyond the outside,
what do you find.
A child crying for help,
waiting for the hero of acceptance.
A child ready to leave
if help doesn't arrive.
But what if there is no help,
what do you see
a child who has brought tears
of sorrow to the eyes of many.
