This was meant to be for you,
Dear future child.
You know, I've always been wild
And too scared of being just a liability.
I used to escape from reality
From any type of responsibility.
I was alone.
I was nervous about becoming your beloved father.
To never be enough for you, just a bother.
The man I fell for at the time
Seemed to know his needs and wants.
I thought he was much stronger
Smarter
Sweeter
Than I could have ever been
But in believing so,
I committed a crime.
I did not validate my being
I had trouble seeing
The World's truth.
Fantasies in my head wouldn't leave
Just like butterflies on top of flowers and trees
Spinning in circles like leaves in the wind.
Dear future child,
I hope one day you'll forgive me
'Cause you could have been my little one
And we could have been your big two.
I am alone.
I'll take care of me
And then of you.
My little one,
We are the big two.
