DEAR MCKENNA
Dear McKenna
Once so young and so sweet, don't let this cruel world slip
from right under your poor fragile feet.
Dear McKenna
Only getting older but not any
wiser.
Forgot the first rule you taught yourself
don't trust anyone, not even yourself.
You are alone and you only have yourself
to hold.
Dear McKenna
I’m sorry
I've failed you.
Not only that, but your mom failed you too.
But remember: you are alone and maybe it will be
okay.
