As I observe the rain wash the dirt away,

The wind dances with the leaves with gay

Slowly, water would come back to the ocean

In harmony, waves flap in motion

 

Though, my life isn't as peaceful as the rain

I cry everyday,  sometimes I scream in pain;

I live in an alley close to a school

I notice that kids are spoiled and some act like fools.

 

They fix their eyes at me. They look disgusted

With my cardboard home and my roof now rusted,

Whispering to one another I see their lips shape,

"Look. He's just wearing a dirty old drape."

 

Pity is weak, unlike me, a survivor

Tough and strong. And with my strength, I will conquer

All storms, all challenges, all hunger

I will not back down, 'cause I am a tiger.

 

I, With the fierce eyes of bravery

I, with body of resiliency

I, with the heart of a warrior

I, with the mind that's superior

 

Will not look down, nor look up to pests

God would give me series of tests

And I'll work for the sake of surviving

Please, Let there be once a silver lining

 

May it come tomorrow or the next

The world is corrupted with its steps

I won't give in, for I'm a survivor

just living in a world full of disaster

 

Here, My eyes, they see abuse within

There, pleasure of syringes takes in

My eyes, they see only sufferings

When did all delights become missing?

 

Oh, when will this all come to an end?

My suffering, my struggles, How long must I pretend

That someday my work will soon be paid off?

And hope that one day, I too will be on top

 

As the storm rages, hope's never found

My story might never be renowned 

The pouring rain may be up there gray

Only I see red skies heading this way
