Drake Bays

A baby none the less - born into a broken home. 
At first sight, knows nothing of his loving father.  
With blue eyes, blonde hair, a white smile - just like his father. 
A skin tone in match with his difficult and distracting and deranged mother. 


Drake, not even at the age of one possessing a whole heart and  
A sense of innocence fluttering in his beautiful smile.  
In which it will be ruined by the hidden light that shines in the eyes of the blind. 
All being taken from the truth and drown in a hatred lie 


To be almost one year old and not know who you are 
Is normal and sad in a situation of sorts 
His life will be ruined by history of false shame 
As he searches this world and finds his whole life has been molded  


A young cub looking up to his mother will be misguided and misused 
And when it comes to an end it will all be  
A life shattered like glass thrown into a brick wall 
Before getting the chance to be his own person.
