2002 Orphan, orphan
child of the night
abandoned and alone
blind and deaf
does no one hear the child's cries
the child does not matter
orphaned and alone
not loved, unlovable
sad, miserable
feeling too much
knowing not enough
no one wants the orphan child
with her frightened eyes and wild look
no one loves the orphan child
who has known only rejection and pain
no closeness! no sharing!
panic signals
alarm bells
the orphan child runs and hides.
