My heart is crushed
My cheeks are blushed
The others are mean to me
And they seem to think I don’t belong
I am only ten
Seldom with friends
They treat me like any other dog
And poke fun at my battle scars
It hurts me oh so much
No one to love me
No one to turn to
No one to trust
I cry in my pillow, curled up in my room
My poor, broken heart in deep dark gloom
I’m parentless, I live by my lonesome
My parents died in war when I was a baby
I am being searched for to have…maybe
At night I listen to the cricket’s band
And alone, I sit by firelight, crying my heart out in my hands
Alas, why am I treated so bad?
What have I done
To be shun?
It seems God turned His help and love away from me
I might as well had drown in the sea
Since no one loves me
So I am alone
Alone, I cry, looking for some comfort
Shelter from a storm would be a loving parent
My heart is broken, soul shattered, so long I may not last
And maybe forever, ‘till death, I’ll be an outkast
