Refugees

All alone, with no one to love me.
No one to care or take me in.
No one is hearing my cry for help.
I don’t know what I did wrong.
Father disappeared.
And Mother is gone.
I miss them.
And I still don’t know what I did wrong.
Now I’m in prison.
I curl up in a ball.
No one will listen.
And I don’t know what I did wrong.
Many years have passed.
And I’m still alone.
Unloved and unwanted.
And I still don’t know what I did wrong.
