Poor unfortunate souls;
My heart weeps for you,
My chest heaves for you.

Bought, forgotten, and sold;
Trashed by everyone,
All you've done, undone.

Angels, birthed from the light:
You should be adored,
Yet you're still ignored.

Always, you've had to fight.
You're a gentle soul,
You're worth living for.

The author's comments:
Sometimes, I get in a mood when I think about all the people who have less then I do, and I feel all achy inside. All the same, no matter what a person's standing in life is, there's always something special in them that can inspire people.
