I am Accidental.
I wasn't supposed to be here.
But mother said I was welcomed with Christmas cheer.
The winter chill never left.
I am Accidental.
I didn't mean to hurt my sister.
I don't remember what insults I threw were.
But she still loves me through and through.
I am Accidental.
I wasn't supposed to be clever.
The doctors' medical words and later lies were a blur.
But I'm here and I accel at school.
I am Accidental.
I wasn't suppose to be the frustrating child.
But I noticed the bitterniss as they smiled.
And their words still echo in my skull.
I am Accidental.
I wasn't supposed to fall in love with a girl.
I wasn't supposed to see the love in her eyes swirl.
She smiles and my world lights up.
I am Accidental.
My parents always said to try.
But everyone else asked why.
Why put in the effort?
And My answers were always pert.
Why wouldn't I?!
Why wouldn't I want to be able to keep my head held high?
You tell me I'm not enough.
I'm that flame you try to snuff.
I may be Accidental.
But I'll tell you that, no matter what, I'm capable.
