She has parents,
Yet she is an orphan.
They say they don't know her,
Where she is at,
They just don't.
So leave it.
Shut up, get out.
My daughter is not gay.
Shes not a disgrace.
We didn't kick her out.
So leave it.
Orphan...
Orphan...
So leave it.

The first two lines really sum up how alot of teenagers feel in this life, and the rest of the poem shows more than meets the eye

An excellent poem!

Liked the sadness and the power in those first two lines Lily...the just give your goosedumps and it made my heartache for you.
It must be hard, but you'll get by. Just keep moving

Don't stop writing, please.

She has parents,
Yet she is an orphan. <<< beautiful yet hurtful line, i loved the title of this poem as it told you exactly what i was going to be reading about and you put a very truthful twist on being an orphan, is it rather a state of mind ? great ending and a very thoughtful poem
well done
