Do you See Me?

Do You See Me?

Sometimes I feel like a fatherless child
All alone on the desert so wild
Lost, aimlessly wandering
Words in my head pondering

My body is ravaged and racked with pain
How can I explain?
My soul is in despair
I am stripped bare

I lie on this cold hard bed
Am I alive or dead?
My tears have turned to dust
I have no one to trust

My prayers bounce back
The sky is only black
I walk the streets dirty and in rags
Carrying all my possessions in bags

No one looks into my eyes
They only step sidewise
No one offers to speak
Am I some kind of freak?

Reach out and touch me
And you will see
I am human, too
Just like you

Help me if you can
I'm just a beggar man
