Black & White

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

I bet you dont know how it feels,
To exist in black in white.
And when a color fits perfectly,
It still doesnt feel right.


I bet you dont know how it feels,
To look at the 12 inch tv screen.
And think it is a fairy tale
Just to have that kind of a perfect family.


I bet you dont know how it feels,
To be shut out from the world.
To be shut out from a possible mom or dad
Because you are a girl.


I bet you dont know how it feels,
To get made fun of everyday.
Because you dont know where you came from
And you dont know if you will stay.


I bet you dont know how it feels,
To be so excited that first night.
And instantly, wish so badly
You could fade back to black and white.

Reason for writing:

    Perspective from an orphan.
