Abandonment is strong within me.
Those who have given up on me rotten.
The feelings radiate through my heart.
How can you live with yourself?
How can you see this as a normal act?
All you do is hurt me, disappoint me.
All the while I am the inside joke.
You are the bully.
You tried to damage me.
You tried to turn me into something I am not.
How can you live with that guilt?
You say if you don't like how things are leave?
How do you justify the means?
Turning me into a liar?
Turning me into something I am not.
Justify this?
Hmm how can you justify this in the end.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
