Questions unanswered

As I open my eyes to the world
I can see the disappointed faces
I can hear the hushed whispers
Drowned in the silent sobs and the painful tears

My smile answered by anger
My voice silenced by hatred
My questions remain unanswered
My soul remains untouched

I take my first step
A step to survive
I ask for help, I look for support
I reach out for a lending hand
Pulled away before I could stand

The doors are slammed on my face
I’m treated like filth, I’m treated like dirt
Just the way I was always treated from birth

Through the sun and the rain
There is only one thing that remains
It is my heart in sorrow, my heart in pain

I spent my life wondering on streets
Looking for an answer
Looking for a meaning
In search of a new beginning
To a life so unwanted
A wound so deep
It could make the heavens bleed
It could make the dead weep.
