Topic starter  

I am that child whose eyes are home of tears,

whose cheeks are paths for them to tread.
I am that child whose head is full of thoughts
of what tomorrow may bring forth.

I am that child whose belly sing hymns of hunger
throughout seasons, winters to summers.
I am that child who witnesses droughts in all moments
even at times where there are plentiful harvests.

Pray for me , pray for me!
Sorrows my lips speak, please hearken me.
If it's true every one writes their destiny
then I have written this stupidly.

Please pray for me
as my ship struggle on this sea,
for a tempestuous breeze threaten its welfare
surging to bring it a shipwreck.

I am that child whose colour is a dirt to the world,
whose looks is grotesque to all,
I am that child who sees but can not have
because I am not to lead but serve.

Should this flow not be altered,
this strong battle not be conquered,
then my loudest cries would become sighs
and my continuous strive shall become vainly tries.

Please pray for me,
listen to me,
I am that child whose face is an embodiment of mercy
calling to the world to shower me with pity.

S3:

Pray for me , pray for me! (space before the comma is unnecessary)
Sorrows my lips speak, please hearken me. (archaic word, not used when majority of the text uses modern terms)
If it's true every one writes their destiny
then I have written this stupidly. (should be one word - everyone)
