Unseen Gifts

Only child till five,

gifts on the table Grandparents raised me,

pushed her away Barely saw her face,

days at her friend's place Weeks turned to months,

church on Sundays

Then he came along,

always sick in St.

Louis I didn't understand,

thought she loved him more Back to that house,

stayed for weeks on end

She was never there when I needed her most Maid and butler,

cooking at eight years old Manipulative words,

hypocrite smile Leave me alone,

I'm done with the lies (ohhh)

Brother born with CF,

always in the hospital I cooked the meals,

cleaned up the mess She called on me,

Z this Z that Never her fault,

always someone else She was never there when I needed her most

Maid and butler, cooking at eight years old Manipulative words,

hypocrite smile Leave me alone,

I'm done with the lies

(ohhh) At school that day,

activity on my mind

Realized the truth, she was never mine

Now I see clear,

time to let go
