Born abandoned

Know no mother

No father

Don’t even know themself

Speech escapes them

Raised by canines —

They become one

Their only interaction

Is a canine

Some don’t even have that

Some are just mute

Don’t leave the dark, lonely room

Miss out on childhood

No parents

No siblings

Too alone and forgotten

Abandoned

To even know themself

To understand abandonment

To understand anything

The most pure being

Is the most hurt

The most abandoned

So pure, knowledge was never taught

Around people years later,

They’re frightened and lost

Born abandoned

Live alone — no contact

Poor, little children

If not saved by a pet,

Raised by an animal,

They’re simply alone

Without even their thoughts…
