Not My Daughter, B

Well, You Kept me up until 4 again but i’d do it every day because when I brought you home I swore to keep the boogie man away I could do with the monster in your closet or the goblin hiding under your bed But I was ill prepared for The Demon that resides in your head I prayed to God it would skip you Made promises I could not keep Naively I blamed hormones and silently I would weep The D word stole my baby I’m trying to take her back But that nasty, ugly monster Was quick in his attack Depression, you stole people I love And I know they’re forever gone But not my child, not my light You think you can keep her but you’re wrong Tell her romantic lies create cruel visions in her mind But i’m a much worse monster A mother’s love, you’ll soon find Is nothing to be messed with Victory is mine *The title? Harry Potter fans know...

Tara, I love your poem of course. Some might say I'm biased, and I am. I know so many of the pages of your life. I wouldn't have it any other way. -Uncle
