The Unwanted
poem by:

He was the boy no one wanted Small and afraid No one at all to love him Only himself to blame What did I do I was just born Why do you hate me Why all the scorn Night after night Day after day In silence as he weeps The boy no one wanted Reaches out to thee She was the girl that no one wanted Small and afraid No one to love her What did I do I was just born Why do you hate me Why all the scorn Night after night Day after day In silence she weeps The girl that no one wanted Reaches out to thee The unwanted exist On the street Dark alleys Empty lots The unwanted exist in big cities As well as small town The unwanted exist where child abuse abounds

Definitely deep and dark and beautiful. It tells a sad truth and allows an image to form. Great writing.
