A letter of Abandonment

Dear Giver of Life,

You brought me into this world and you let it have its fill with me 

you were a rolling stone and I a growing child looking for you

you left me out here alone and cold people were asking questions

of where it went wrong because I was not like the other children I had not

made peace in my head that you were not coming back for me and like you

did not lay my head at a place I would call home I have been convinced

with words of lies and let them linger in my ear because I don't want to believe

it is true mommy I love you but I can not be deceived by words because of you

you came you stayed you left you came you said you'd stay and you left

You came you stayed and never said you'd leave dear mom if you ever read this 

this is from your daughter just one of the ones you left I am the daughter of you

but I refuse to live in your lies this is goodbye for now giver of life
