Vishal Dutia

I was born in a poor and broken family
I never had a chance to go to school or play
I had to work hard every day to survive
I never knew what happiness or love was

I saw the rich and the powerful enjoy their lives
I saw them have everything they wanted and more
I saw them laugh and smile and have fun
I never understood why they had it all and I had nothing

I tried to change my fate and make something of myself
But I faced many obstacles and challenges along the way
I was discriminated, exploited, and betrayed by many
I never got the recognition or reward I deserved

I grew old and bitter and full of regrets
I had no friends or family to care for me
I had no dreams or hopes or goals to pursue
I never felt that life was fair or just
