When I was born

I was ditched in the dustbin

Why did this happen to me

Why did my parents disown me

Maybe I’m a curse

Perhaps they weren’t ready to have me

They could’ve taken me to foster care instead of throwing me in the middle of nowhere.

I have endless questions for them

But I’m grateful to God

Because she sent a random woman to me

The woman I call my mother

Why do people disown us?
