Cry of the Abandoned

What grief have I brought,
To deserve such injustice?

What rule did I break,
To be so shunned and unwanted?

What sin have I committed,
To feel so lonely and abandoned?

What pain have I caused,
To deserve such heartless treatment?

You left me out in the cold,
To hide your lustful error.

You murdered me before my first breath,
To relieve your future burden.

You took away my life,
To protect your name and pride.

You left me with the dogs and garbage,
To cry and rot and die.

Do babies get a free pass to heaven?
I hope I do.

I don't know where or who you are,
I don't know your motive for leaving me.

But one thing I do know.

I might be disfigured,
I might be unwanted,
But your blood flows through my veins,
and that makes me a human being.

If perhaps a miracle were to happen,
Rescuing me from this horrid nightmare,
and I grow up to lead a decent life,
There is only one thing I would wish for:
That I am nothing like you.

I wonder how you sleep at night,
Knowing that you killed me?

Yours Truly,
The Abandoned One
