POETRY
I thought he was an angel, I thought that he saw more.
My life is so much different than it was before.
He started acting just like the rest,
As I buckled down to try my best.
He brought me hope and gave me life.
But was nowhere close to seeing a wife.
Now I feel like some kind of fool.
I know heβs different from the other tools.
I wish I could have made him proud.
So, he wouldnβt have tossed me back in the crowd.
Heβs the only reason I made it this far,
Without him, Iβd rather just become a star.
I fought harder than I thought I would
But it's too exhausting when your this misunderstood.
Maybe if I was someone else,
I could have found my one true self.
