Despite having nothing in my life
"until one day"
Hardships, tears, and misery.
Throughout my upbringing,.
I was treated as an outcast.
I was given the name Rotten.
As if I were an old, fallen fruit.
Nothing positive came my way.
I was mistreated.
as though I were a slave.
Misery became my companion.
I took small steps to pray secretly.
However, nothing changed.
Scars covered my body, and they
evolved into permanent tattoos.
I needed to forget that
scars can heal and fade.
because mine were different.
My blood was boiling.
I was astounded by the discomfort
I had to go through
Without anybody to talk to,
There was nowhere to flee.
Working hard for food
and shelter every day.
From my horrible relatives
those who took me in
after my parent's deaths
Until one day
I was determined to be
a street youngster
A homeless child
And peace came.
despite having nothing in my life.
