Welcome Back

Mum and dad are dead
I’m their only offspringing
No kids... I know of.

Most my half brothers
Hate my existence because
I’m like their father.

Who they loved to hate
I can’t blame their projected
Da Nile of my love.

I care about them
About as much as I care
What they think of me.

I’m so wild and free
Without any family
Except my doggy.

He keeps me grounded
Barks at my insanity
I don’t let him growl.

I have lots of friends
Who are my real family
They look after me.

Until I wear out
My fluctuating welcome
Back reality.

The first day of May
Two thousand and some sixteen
Was when I wrote this.

I'm struggling a bit... is "Denial" 3 syllables or 2? It depends how you sound it a bit... OK I'll it this way...

best to use 'how many syllables' as your syllable counter it is the most reliable - ( denial - its 3 syllables) hugs jan xx

He's too happy to growl... usually! Glad you liked it.
