When a parent has a child
They love him with care
At least that is what was supposed to happen
But instead they left him bare
Let him go without a second thought
Oh I'll take this liquid poison over them instead
How in hell is she not dead

The one who brings him in
Making him as happy as happiness can be
But you would never know.
That this child was me.

Keep it in don't tell a soul
No one cares
No one wants to know
Brought into a strange family
Away from the problems
Making a future
Given a second chance with endless possibilities

I was taken away from the sour stench
The sting of smoke in the air
I do not remember much
Except her awful touch
The feeling to the pit of my stomach
The hate deep within my soul
It was fun she said
But even today I wish she wasn't here
Take my brothers place
Bring him back
You should have been the one to go.
I hate you I yelled as I fled
I wish you were dead.

For that is cruel I know
But it is true nonetheless
For I have none of these.
No regrets
It is the truth you see
Although slightly absurd.
But in the end the truth tends to be a bit more painfulthan you want it to be
As you fall down to your knee.
