It's not my place

To ask you to stay

I mean

What can I really say?

Fact is

I'm not your actual kid

And what you did

And have already done

Is more than enough

A battle you've won

That fight wasn't yours

What she's doing isn't right

And it's your right

To walk away

But I'm pleading with you

Dad

Please stay

About the Creator

Shaye B.

Welcome to my trainwreck. I'm Shaye B and I'm pleased to make your aquaintence. I learned to read before I could talk and learned to write because I couldn't scream. I haven't quite learned to scream yet so I'll continue to write until then
