child of the desert

a smile,
unseen.
a life,
unlived.
in this world,
who do you turn to?
hopeful for someone
to come to the rescue
though you're treated
as if they dont care
you ask yourself why
you own a heart
that beats for no one.
not even yourself.
in some people's eyes
your true form is shocking
through my eyes
i cannot see it.
darling child
how do you live
every day, alone?
child of the desert,
your anger is drowned
by the fire encircling.
