He desired his partner,
But not his wife.
He desired his affairs,
But not in his dreams.
She desired her freedom,
But not destruction.
She desired her children,
But not by blood.
They fought, and they bickered.
They had dreams and wishes,
But she held him back,
Because he still loved her.
And I held her back,
Because I am her child.
I am her child from love.
I am her child through tears.
I am her child because she showed up.
I am her child,
Because she treated me so.
Now she's left me,
Because her biological child needed her to.
He was hurting.
She was hurting.
My dad was cheating,
Without any care.
He was fighting with her.
He was flirting without her.
He acted powerful,
But then he brought somebody home.
My stepmother left with her son.
It was enough.
She tried to take me with her.
It didn't last.
He called the police on her.
I came back.
I desired a home that felt right.
I desired my mother and brother.
I desired a place to belong safely.
Now I found one.
5 years without them, but I'm alive.
I've found a person who cares about me,
And I'm not with my dad.
I'm home. Where I've desired.
I want you guys to know I'm happy. I think about you every day but I'm happy now. I hope you are too, and you're always in my heart.
