I am a child, lost in a strange and frightening world, <br />A refugee in a time of trouble. <br />I gaze upon the faces in a hostile crowd: <br />An orphan, whose home is a pile of rubble. <br /> <br />See me! <br /> <br />I am the victim of habitual abuse, crying for help <br />Though there's no-one to hear. <br />I cry myself to sleep each night <br />But can find no help or solace here. <br /> <br />Hear me! <br /> <br />I am the invisible person, unnoticed, unloved <br />Never showing the pain inside <br />Of having no-one there to come home to. <br />You'll never know the tears I've cried. <br /> <br />Touch me! <br /> <br />I am a broken spirit, forged by an unforgiving life. <br />Living in squalor, foraging for food, <br />Begging on the streets for coins, <br />Dependant on strangers in a giving mood. <br /> <br />Pity me!<br /><br />Dawn Ferrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-therefore-i-feel/
