Poem

I can't relate to being impoverished while having children in the foster system

​

But I know the pain of always yearning for a family that's nonexistent

​

You settled with a life without me, please explain and offer wisdom

​

I waited years for that ray of light, viewing life through a foggy prism

​

​

​

Maybe it's biology or something in your genetic code

​

Maybe it's your drugs, liquor, cigarettes, and Methadone

​

You had me in your grasp and you still decided to let me go

​

Wasn't I worth fighting for? I guess I'll never know

​

​

​

Maybe I'm simply just too young to understand

​

Even foxes abandon babies when stress gets the upper hand

​

So I continue to escape in books, with Alice in Wonderland

​

I wouldn't wish this on an enemy for a hundred grand

​

​

​

Maybe you were just two humans who decided to reproduce

​

I developed from that single cell and now I'm out here singing blues

​

Looking out into the universe, introspecting, seeking clues

​

Thinking leaving you like you left me is finally what I need to do

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

I think it's time to walk away.

​

I'd give everything I got to stay,

​

But it's over now. It's over now.

​

​

​

There's so much that I want to say.

​

But none of it would cause a change,

​

So it's over now... Over now.

​
