My Life In Words

My life in words
I was born in the streets
I was raised by the streets
So my life is in the streets

My life in words
What you call rubbish
And throw in the garbage
Is my delicacy

My life in words
These sacks i sleep on
These rags i wear
This life i live
Is all i can afford

My life in words
My mother
Who lived
The same life i am living
Was raped
By a sex greedy man,
She got pregnant
And after 9 months
Gave birth to me.

My life in words
My mother,
Who had nothing
Raised me with nothing
Left me with nothing
So i've nothing,
That's why i am nothing
In this world of the living.
