Lost and Discarded

Lost and Discarded

By: Alley Jan Drow


Curious innocent a child like all the others
Not special or unique just a little one playing hide and seek
Joy, happiness and anger all lived together inside him

Some days lost some days won 
No father just his mom
Looked for strength courage and guidance 
none to be found just loneliness and sadness

A boy with friends but not many that liked him
Family near and distant with fear

New places to live often and changing
New faces in so many places
So many faces familiar and strangers
Which one to be used for guidance

Anger anger, more often than not
Fills his heart with what he hasn’t got
