I.
People look at me with disgust
And thinks where the hell did he have some guts
To show off my dirty face as I distribute the envelops
To ask a helping hand and to give me some hopes.
II.
I have no choice but to do this
To sing and drums like it was my talents showcase
It was as if I was dreaming and fulfilling my aims
as through the heat and warming of the sunlight beams.
III.
Others may not see what my eyes wanted to tell
Because they avoid their eyes as i look at them
Afraid of what? dirtiness, germs, and unpleasant smell?
Can you tug me along instead with your expensive shirt's hem?
IV.
You would ask where's my mom and dad
I'll tell you I don't have any there's nothing I had
You would hesitate to give me some penny
Because you'd think I'll spend it on rugby.
V.
Food, shelter, and clothing was all I want
Why won't you give me some look of grant?
I was just a victim who belongs to ascribe statuses
I won't bluff and make any excuses.
VI.
I am not saying all of us has the same aspects
But what I'm trying to prove was your false verdict
You may not see how I weep every night
Realizing when can I feel the joy in my might?
