Vessel in the corner
Emptiness surrounding
Smiles I never did see
Surrendered on to fate
Expelled and abandoned
Laughing stock I became
Of your ravenousness
Fed I with meals on time
Yet I gave up my shine
Only to feed your need
Under the heat of coal
Renounced I am today
Home is not just a word
A vessel which carries
Bricks none but lovely hearts
It’s the spirit of love
The inspiring bosom
Solid as mothers love
