The Orphan Poem by Zunda Wezi Chibwe

I feel so crushed and alone,
An orphan left to fend for survival,
My world is crushing down on me,
I don't see a way out I'm running out of air I can't breath,
This is just too much for me it's draining the life out of me,
Where is my silver lining my ray of hope,
I can't find myself I can't through my tears see any hope,
Why am I in this place, at this point in this moment,
Temporary you gave me  joy and allowed me to dream,
I walked the banks of possibilities' sea,
Holding your hand I felt I could do anything,
And now I can't see my foot prints I feel like am losing everything.

I have called to You but I don't hear you answer,
I don't feel Your hand in mine like it was before,
Where have You gone leaving me alone this way,
I wish I had a mother to comfort me and tell me it's going to be okay,
An earthly provider in whom I would rely on to keep me protected and provided for, my father,
but You took both away and now I have to be in this situation..
