Denimtears

Without a father 
I still bloomed
without a mother
maturity was doomed
from harsh winter
to stale summer
the times of disappointment
I cant number
childhood memories
are but vacant lots
with shattered glass in the streets
and parentless nights with teacher meet
I cried long and hard
toughned my skin and became a man
with misery in fashion
I cry denim tears
