Family


family you say
what is that?
what is love?
why don't i have a family that has love?
can't i be pretty too??
can't you love me to father?

i'm sorry
i can't help 
i can't do anything 
i'm sorry

i was left alone all the time
skies are grey
stars?
what are those?
do they still shine bright?
are they still a happy family?

i'm sorry mom
i'm sorry dad
i'm sorry sisters
i'm sorry brothers
i'm sorry I didn't leave when i could've
but i'll leave now so you can be happy 
i'm sorry
