Anonymous Caller

Up until around age seven

My brother and I were lied to

The man we were calling father

Ended up being the substitute

A pawn in a Mother's plan

To cover tracks so they won't show

A futile attempt at camoflauging

The soon inevitably known

As we started to grow older

And developed analytical minds

We began to ask some questions

The who what where when and whys

Like why are our eyes blue?

And whose the blonde hair from?

How is our last name Freese?

And the others Amato, Mom?

Now backed into a corner

My mother finally told me

You know that strange man that keeps calling

Well that strange man is your real Daddy

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
