PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought I was the one,

you know, your only begotten son.

You told me you loved me and with all

you had you adored me.

But your friends, your money, your cars

were all put before me.

I always did what I was told,

and even made the honor roll.

I was never in the streets and never gave

you trouble, but I guess that wasn't enough

to make you acknowledge me.

No matter how I tried to be all you wanted me to be.

Still you left my mother and abandoned me.

So now dad what are you getting out of this,

are you proud of what you've done?

Does it bring you joy to know you lost your

only begotten son?

Remember when I was a kid,

all the fun things we did?

You showed me how to play catch and basketball,

told me one day I’d grow really tall.

You even said that someday

I can be in the NBA.

Then just like that you walked away,

it seems that you never looked back,

but I never stopped hoping and at times I would retract.

But I see nothing and it leaves me confused,

then I saw you the other day and you didn't

recognize my face.

You have a new family and I have been replaced.

I tried to take it all in but it weighed on me like

a ton,

realizing for the first time,

I am not your only begotten son.
