I still am alone
even though I live with family
I'm still so alone
this family dysfunctional
only adds to my isolation
why do I stay
theres a little 4 year old boy
I love with all my heart
he needs me as a barrier
to teach and to protect
from a family that
knows no God
I feel mortality
closing down on me
just want a few more
years to find contentment
and live happily
