Abandonment
I was born like a flower
A seed filled with hope and potential
I needed nourishment and tending to grow into my full form
I was brought into life with a fresh new beginning
My mother raised me like a I was a flower and she was my keeper
She did only the necessities and things I needed to survive
I wished she was like a mother bird
Taking to my every need
Keeping me warm by her breast
Comforting my cries
Teaching me how to fly
There was always something missing
The emptiness was stopping me from blossoming into a beautiful healthy flower
I was damaged from the lack of love
The mall nourishment caused me to dwindle and die inside
I grew up with emptiness in the pit of my heart, the core of my soul
I tried filling this hole with substances and relationships
Liquor
Cigarettes
Drugs
Non committed love
None of it helped
Now I am dying at an early age
This ongoing pain inside me has eaten me alive
My locked up emotions have finally let loose
I am melting, it is time for me to go
I will be free from this agonizing life at last
Now I can spread my wings and fly
