Untitled Part 1

by I am Michelle   May 20, 2006


Why were you, the only thing I have, taken away from me?
Did I do something, I don't understand and I can't see
I'm being blinded by my sadness, I want this to end
I don't want any more tears but I can't help it, they just descend.

I'm scared of them; they don't treat me the way you used to
Why am I even in foster care, I feel like I've caught the flu
Now no body loves me and no one will ever even talk to me
I try to get someone's attention but they tell me to leave them be

Daddy, where are you? When will I ever be able to see you?
I asked that man in court but he seemed like he hadn't a clue
He said I won't be able to for 25 years or for the rest of my life
But I don't understand, he said something about you and a knife

My foster mom says you didn't teach me what you should've
But I stood up for you and told her that you truly would've
If you weren't gone all the time and doing things far away
I wished you came from work and then afterwards you stayed

I hope you're in a good place, Daddy, and know harm was done
That man that you killed, don't let be a burden or weigh a ton
His mom, committed suicide anyways, so she's not missing him
His father, is doing okay, his life really hasn't changed, it's just a little dim
