I was born into a torn and broken family waiting patiently for father to be free
Spent most of my time crying in a baby bed; Until I stopped, knowing it's another day I don't get fed
In 06 I was learning how to walk father got out and things got confusing
To hear shouts without knowing how to talk; Seeing mom shaking, as she started drug abusing
Being in the backseat; Watching as her mind slipped
Everything changed quick; The day he won custody
Turning pages of history, I see he was unfit
To ever try and raise me, I was given a new family
Even though they showed love to me I let it miss
Reading children's books for different fairy tales
Needing that imagination to escape hell
Once in school I got validation acting a fool
Would be punished on weekends, People saying I fell
Kindness fought pain until it lost; Life was cruel, each tear had a cost
On each leg my story was written in purple
Hours spent in bed; A nobody feeling lost
Losing conscious; Woundering why my life had to be so hurtful

Be the light others can't show, Be the water to the ones who can't grow, Be the friend others wish to know. Don't lose yourself to pain because it might never let go. 031
