StepSon

To have a stepson that you didn't create  
Become your son that you did create  
Don't ponder the thought of that penmanship  
It's too complex of a statement that you're trying to grip  
The wordplay is factual; I didn't make a mistake  
The censorship is not needed for me to break  
Speak your mind; let it rise to the equation  
The broken heart that you'll leave with, without hesitation  
I'm saying this to say nothing; the meaning is clear  
Your son has become your stepson for the duration of his years.

A son is a son whether he is yours or not from birth. Love him and care like he is.
