The day I grew up

The day I grew up 

Is the day I learned that I was on my own,

The day my birth mother was arrested. 

Goodbye little brothers,

goodbye the first father figure I had.. 

goodbye to the thought of moving on from all the pain .

As for now, I’ve moved on. 

Hello to new opportunities, 

Hello to new beginnings, 

I’ve overcome the pain,

tyrning pain into positivity.
