Looking Forward
When I was born, my eyes were closed,
And as I grew, the opened wider.
I saw more of what life was,
And what it wasn't.
I am three,
And I am happy.
All is well,
And there is love to share.
I am five,
And I am torn,
Between two parents,
That both want 100% of me.
I am eight,
And my dad is gone.
He doesnt write and he doesnt call,
But I suppose my new one,
Is alright.
I am twelve,
And my dad is back,
But the love isn't there.
He never says where he went,
And I dont ask,
So that is that.
I am sixteen,
But it feels like I'm back at five,
Because I'm once again split between to people,
And two places where I feel I dont belong.
I am twenty,
And maybe I've moved on,
But maybe not.
Because no one can ever know,
What happens after you reach your low.
