Fool Out of Me

A parent I thought you would be
But an inconvenience I turned out to be
All I needed was a hand
I couldn’t have you even as a friend
Lies is all you spoke, the truth I don’t believe has ever been told
A story oh could I tell; of all your deceit and trails.
A family is all I need, thinking I had one
Well that made a fool out of me!

A story of ordinary life whose truth I hold.
