the struggle

Motherless Fatherless -child, alone in the world looking for direction.
She's missing her fathers protection and her mothers affection.
What she wouldn't give for just a moment so Surreal-- to feel, the touch of them both.

Words could never explain her pain as she struggles to maintain. 
Heart and Mind so heavy wondering what her life would've been like-- 
if only she had more time, With them both. 
maybe she wouldn't have struggled with loving herself; knowing her worth. 

Just maybe if she knew how much her dad cared, although he couldn't be there would have changed her perception of men.
Maybe it would have took more than just a grin faking a friend to touch her within. 

Or perhaps if her moms love could have just stayed a few more days, a few more years --until she had become that woman she is today;
she could have accepted that Cancer.
Just maybe, I want answers. 

God, I know you love me 
and you did what was best for them.. 
But what about the parent-less children 
you leave behind? 
Who's supposed to be there for us
to make sure we're fine. 

I've tried so hard not to question my purpose, 
but in this moment I just need to know...
if its worth it.
