A STRAY LIFE

Hungry, Helpless

I roam around the street

Trying to seek for food,

I search the bin

But I find nothing

Cause I’m just a stray

Hungry, helpless

I roam around the restaurant

Trying to seek for food

I ask from the people

But all I got was kicking

Cause I’m just a stray

Hungry, helpless

I roam around the market

trying to seek for food

I steal the fish

But all I got was beating

Cause I’m just a stray

Hungry, helpless

I roam the neighbourhood

Trying to seek for food

I sneak around a house

But I was whacked

Cause I’m just a stray

Hungry, helpless

I roam around the school

Trying to seek for food

I tried to graze the kids

And I get was trashed

Cause I’m just a stray

What have I done wrong?

I tried to get a grasp,

I am feeble,

I cannot move,

my body is full of wound

And it is acceptable

Cause I’m just a stray

What have I done wrong?

To deserve such pain,

I just want to live,

I just want to take a bite,

Is it wrong?

Kicking, whacking, beating, trashing

Is all I got

Cause I’m just a stray

What have I done wrong?

I just want to fill my tummy

Can’t they feel sorry for me?

They hurt me,

They make me suffer,

They make me shudder,

For a stray like me

Is a trash they say

Sorrow, hurting

What are they thinking?

I have a feeling,

I hurt deeply,

I cried bitterly,

I care for them,

Why can’t they care for me,

I love greatly,

As my kind taught me,

But still

To be loved, to be cared, to live

I am not worthy,

Cause I’m just a stray

Dying, lost

This is the end of living,

The start of my leaving,

Maybe my new beginning,

No more hunger,

No more pain,

No more suffer,

I won’t be a loner,

I close my eyes now,

Though nobody would care,

Because my name is ‘a stray’.
