Disfellowshipped
I know you think i'm a horrible person
From what you have been taught
Your mind and time wasted
without a second thought
I realize that years have gone by
And that I hardly even know you
I want you to know that I love you
But when I look at you I feel sorrow
I am not like them
I am still your family
I am not evil
I am just a man.
Now we are in the same shoes
And you know what it is like
For a family to turn its back on its own
Is like living with no light
I want you to know that you are safe
And it's safe here to be yourself
I wont let them hurt you
I can be your shield
I ll be your protector
I can help you heal
I am so calloused and beaten
Yet I am so strong
I cannot stand the thought
Of a family member wishing,
for a family to belong
