I was never wanted
Right from the period
That I came into existence

I was never loved
But I didn't care
The only thing on my mind is survival

Maybe they'll see my usefulness
When I grow up, strong and healthy
But, I can never be loved

Not by these people who judged based on looks
I wasn't beautiful
But my undying will and strength wasn't considered

I was trampled upon
I overcame countless trials and tribulations
I survived many attempts of extermination

I fought for food and water
I was in competition with those that they love
Yet, they claimed that I was killing them

I was forced to feed their cattle
Crushed under their feet
But I stood strong and tall, mocking defeat

I became strong through battles
I learned through every victory and defeat
I was resistant to their every plan and tactics

Alas, I was pulled by the hairs on my head
Casted out, like an unwanted guest
Bringing an end to my pitiful existence

But, they'll never see the end of me
I'm coming back, stronger and healthier
Till they learn to love me for who I am
