Little Fighter Poem by Maria Sudibyo

Don't pity me because I am homeless
Be grateful for what I could get
Don't underestimate me because I'm little
Treat me like any other human
Don't laugh at me because I'm a naive child
Praise me because I could still find happiness
Don't use me for your campaign
Fund me in nameless benefactor
Don't promise me something you don't really mean
I have enough of disappointment
Don't try to trick me because I'm uneducated
I know well the darkness in the street
Don't preach me because I have to work
Help me to feed properly my family
Don't speak to me only to gloat your opinion
Listen to me what I learn from life
Don't put me down that I could not change anything
Say to me that someday I will reach my dream
Don't judge me I'll become society trash
Give me a chance first to prove myself
