He feels alone in the world
He feels forgotten and scared
Has no home
A runaway upon the streets.
Living as best he can
He wonders why it has to be this way
After the people who killed his parents
He has lived in hiding
Trusting no one
Tears streak down his chin
As he remembers how it used to be
The joy
The laughter
Sure there were fights
Sure there were arguments
But they were few and far between
Alone now
Upon the streets
Fighting for food
Fighting for life

You are most welcome, Tony!
Very emotive words Tony, unfortunately this is happening so often now and it needn't be that way but those in power do not care.
