Misfit Toy
Artwork by Lis Huang
the aisle of misfits
cleft in two
dividing friend and foe
the misfits as they sit
row by row
silently they look upon
with eyes yearning
to be picked
by childlike innocence
the misfits they whisper
amongst themselves
when a child walks by
wondering who will be chosen
the misfits they whisper
to themselves
how they ever became a misfit
who was judge, jury, and executor
to have made them undesirable
but in the hearts of each misfit
lies a spark of hope
that one day
an innocent child
will give to them
a loving, forever home
in these hopeful dreams of the misfits
we see a reflection
of hopes and dreams
some are dashed
some are made
many yet to be fulfilled
take heart in the hope of the misfits
believe in the truth
each of the misfits
each of you
each of us
were made for something great
as the misfits sit silently
on the aisle of the misfits
cleft in two
separating friend and foe
they whisper to themselves
hold onto hope
