Lost Child
Folder:
Other Poems A child of no luck.
A few mistakes fate the life he leads.
Stock in a place of hell,
Missing out on what others take for granted.
Yet manages to live out each day,
While others fall over to die.
Can't yet escape the hell,
But deals with it each day.
While others are destined to fail,
He will succeed.
Surpass expectations,
Show those who don't care how he really is.
Though the hurdles are great,
The accomplishment of jumping them is greater.
The few that care keep him going.
While those that hate try to bring him down.
The shit he had to deal with,
And the shit he still has to take.
Enough to make a normal man crumble.
Is he a lost child?
Most would say he is.
Yet I think he has found himself,
Before anyone else yet has.
Hurt and battered.
He rides out the storm.
And still wakes each day,
While others would rather lie away,
Waste away the years.
He makes the best of it.
Deserves more then what he has.
No longer a lost child,
Just an unfound young man.
Maybe he needs a little guidance,
Who doesn’t?
But he deserves more then this,
More then the life he has led.
Join the rest of us in that bittersweet place,
Place known to us as life.
