Will I ever get there?

I saw them playing, clicking pictures
I gently asked ‘can I come up’?
They shrugged me off
And said go away, this is not your place!

I was cleaning the table
Where I saw his mother
Feeding him gently
Telling all the stories I never got a chance to hear

I silently whispered,
I wish I had a mother
Look I’m just here
Would you keep me like your son?

I was picking up the plates where one of it fell
A scream came my way ‘can you do one thing straight?’
I looked around and all went black
My cheek turned red, it hurt so bad; did I just get a slap?

I was cleaning the room
When my heart started to pound
Just touched a toy lying around
And then came he crying about!

I tried to explain
I just wanted to play
‘They are expensive’ they said
‘Have you even seen your face?’

I sobbed and cried
No one seemed to have cared
I have a heart too, am I not a child?
Is it my fault, if I’m born in a no-where town?

I picked myself up, brushed myself off
My stomach crunched, and my eyes felt numb
But those images kept flashing that day
And I kept asking myself, 'will I ever get there?'

Setting dreams on fire.

Setting dreams on fire,
tearing all hopes gathered together…
But something stops me,
Tells me I can still achieve whatever I desire!

Setting dreams on fire,
Burning all what I aspired…
A voice comes from within and says;
What’s stopping you from reaching there?

Setting dreams on fire,
losing all the strength puckered,
And as I look in the mirror….
my image, tells me this is not the face of a loser!

Setting dreams on fire,
Fading deep down in the ocean,
And let myself drown, but my body resists and says;
You can swim this water!

Setting dreams on fire,
Will lead nowhere but frustration.
Don’t squelch flow against the current,
Forget the failure and get what u desire!
