Tell Me Why


Narration of a 9 year old wounded (physically, mentally n emotionally) lad, an orphan living under fear’s minions (hate, lies, pain, much more pain. . . . .)
———————————-
Hahahaha. . . . .
Hey mom over here!!
Throw me the ball!!

Hehehe. . . . .

Hmmm uhh. . . . .

HEY. . . . .
HEY!!

WAKE U PUNK. . . . .u gotta clean the toilets. . . . .
N who the f*** is that whining face for. . . . .now GET ON UR A** n get to work or no food for a week. . . . .
I want those s***pots, spic’n'span licked clean. . . . .
U HEAR ME DIRT??
Yee. . . . .es sir. . . . .
:’(
Meaningless tears, letting themselves free,
Tear ducts running dry, lies hurting eyes with which I see,
Wish dreams would come alive, n bring them back to me,
Parents in a bond n me in between. . . . .
AAH!!. . . . .I M Goinn. . . . .
STOP HITTING ME PLEASE. . . . .
Aarhh. . . . .maa y did u leave me. . . . .paa please come back. . . . . :’(
please come n take me with u. . . . . :’(
Hush. . . . .
Not a sound to be heard,
Nothing but voices of a biased word,
‘F a m i l y’, a hope of a distant dream,
Something which I wonder, is a luxury than it may seem. . . . .
Blood n bruises becoming a part of my identity,
Thickening my thoughts, unable to react to the no-good-serendipity. . . . .
Frightened emotions unable to shed their inhibitions,
Unable to plunge away from fear’s minions. . . . .
Afraid I might attain the lose of impeding hope,
Shattered courage cries. . . . .”LEAVE ME ALONE, its hard to cope!”




Spending the day under the shade of a terrifying irony,
The irony of parched living in flooded floors of tears. . . . .

Heart’s honest wish to cruise the bruise to a better tomorrow,
Though mind whispers, its ecstasy to end the daylight’s sorrow. . . . .
To break faith’s flow passing through a path so narrow. . . . .
Be at peace with urself, with death’s bloodstained arrow. . . . .
Maa-paa, Why did u not kill me instead?
Answer my cries, answer to the pain u left me unsaid. . . . .
Why did u burden my weak shoulders??
Why did u leave me responsible for myself. . . . .
why. . . . .
tell me why. . . . .

  3. @Deanna.......well Dee......its not something that i have went through......neither do i know any people in my life who have gone through this........but.......it always makes me ponder the pain a child must have felt......when he felt abandoned.....

    isn't that the case for some orphans in workplaces??
    i think so...........hence the poem......
