The Key

When I was a little lamb

You left me here without a plan

All on my own.

I didn’t know I was not wrong

The years seemed harsh and awful long

I was alone.

Why were you unable to

Do the things that you had to do

When you brought me into this world?

I’ve had to cry, had to lie

Do awful things to get on by.

Now I know I’m the key

To fixing me.

I know you have not got replies

To all the stories; all the lies

That you have told.

You said you needed a new start

The life you left was to depart;

Left me in the cold.

How could I up and fly

When you left me here to die

Thinking I was just in the past.

Full of fear, no idea

How to move on from here.

To find the key that I need

To fixing me.

So the years passed me on by

And I noticed that I

Grew strong with age.

Looking back on my black past

I realised that at last

You’re on my last page.

I stand here, free of fear

Brimming with the greatest idea

I will be much better than you.

So please know I’m now to go

Leaving you in my shadow.

All along there was no key

I was never broken.
