Orphan

I Opened my eyes to see myself wrapped in white
All clean and pretty i lay by my mother's side
Embracing me she started to cry
Fell asleep just to find myself under the sky

Rescued by a man who heard me shrieking
Admitting me to the Home for the Children
Orphanage was a learning phase
Where we are treated like cattle in a cage

Adopted into a family so sane
Where I grew up with a last Name
I had a family who i called my own
Except an aunt who never got close

She was my mother who left me to die
As abortion is illegal in the land we reside
Child in her teens, she couldn't rear
Thus an act so gory and a life full of pain

I see a child who I left to die
How shall I declare, he is mine
I am compunctious of an act so nefarious
A sight of yours alone will provide solace

I will love you son yet cant be your mother
I am reaping what i sowed out of Fear
I forgive you mother for your act out of angst
It's not your fault but a law that had fettered your hands
