A six-year-old boy
Left behind by his father
Outcast by half his blood
For being his mother’s son.
As he grew older
His mother found new pursuits
Ensconced in her basement apartment
And he could only sit and watch.
And older still he grew
Emotionally torn by his mother’s mother
Who forced him on the path, against his will
From which life threw her off of.
So when he grew to manhood
And thought that he found his love most true
When his seed in her belly planted
She bolted with his son unborn.
And now this boy turned man
Abandoned by all who should be there
Stands ‘lone ‘mongst the shards of a shattered life
Terrified to find someone, yet miserable alone.
