Things I wish I knew when I was younger

Oh, when I was young, I didn't know how to feel, I was always "numb"

Being be-littled and been called "dumb",

I was so little, you see, just a little seed,

No proper nourishment to grow,

They always told my step-mom, "you reap what you sow",

My dad was always away, which lead me astray,

Which led me to be afraid; afraid of whom I was supposed to call "mom"

Days and weeks grew long, so I went on to singing my own song,

The things I wish I knew as a child, made me grow up to be wild.

Wild and broken as you would say, never wanted to go "home" at the end of the day,

My family loved me or so I thought, they would always me leave me with her to emotionally "rot"

School was tough and kids were mean, so I started to make a scene.

Fights between parents would start, attacking eachother's minds and hearts,

I was always told I was the root of the problem, leaving little seedling me to solve them.

I never knew what a safe space was, I just always wanted to fly away like a dove.
