Orphan

Look at me,
Raised up in a foster home.
Never saw my parents, never knew who they were,
In this cold world, i constantly roam.

They judge me for something i did not do,
It seems i have to pay the price.
Talking about me behind my back,
But in front of me they act nice.

What did i ever do to deserve this?
I was a baby when they abandoned me somewhere.
Instead of words of support,
All i get is criticizing stares.

Why does society judge people like us?
We didn't do anything wrong.
Born under difficult circumstances,
Are there any parents to whom i belong?

Perhaps, those who i came out of,
Have a family to care about.
Do they ever think about me?
No, i highly doubt.

But it's not my fault that I'm an orphan,
It's not my fault if i was a mistake.
People are so judgmental,
Everything they care about is fake.

Take some time to know me,
Take a time to really see.
Instead of building useless barriers,
We might surprisingly agree.

I am an orphan,
That simply is not my mistake.
I was a baby when i was abandoned,
Life is a game of give and take.

Stop being so judgmental,
I am a human just like you.
Give me a chance and don't pre-judge me,
I will not accept being a taboo.
