Nobody's Son
We know it is in the instinct of a mother
To be there when there is no other.
We know it is in the instinct of a father
To be there to push just a bit further.
But something went wrong, there was a mistake
And they didn't care; not for my sake.
And I remain lost; I am alone
My abandonment, if only they had known.
Would they have been different?
If only to my creators could I be indifferent ...
But the fact remains, and what is done is done
I am now, and perhaps always was, nobody's son.
