Unwanted

I was blind but now can see,

The world's a different place to me.

I gaze around uncertainly.

Is this the place I want to be?

I was deaf but now can hear,

The things that you want me to fear.

And when they start to reappear,

I know I do not like it here.

I was mute but now can cry,

As in my crib, alone to lie.

I do nothing but wonder, Why?

Have I just been left to die?

Behind these bars of wood I kneel,

And try to give you some appeal.

I cannot touch but I can feel,

The love you give me isn't real.
