I Ask You Please

I Ask You Please

Please do not ignore me

It was not my fault I was born

I had nothing but love for you

I looked up to you

I needed you

And you just left me

I had no home

No food or water

No one to love

Against all odds  l survived

I begged and stole

I slept in the narrowest of cracks

I was too young to do anything else

I looked and looked for you

Looked for anyone who would love me

I watch people walk by

They do not see me

They never even look

But, I am there in the shadows

Hungry, cold and all alone

Still, I survived and I asked one thing

Please do not ignore me
