There was once a time
Safe and sublime
When I was cuddled and cared for
Then it faded away, something I wasn't prepared for.
I was child two of four
Ignored more and more
I was a burden, became bitter
A runt of the litter
My eyes were a mess
Something I couldn't address
I was lonely and not free
And even I didn't love me
Found affection once more
But just like before
It slowly melted away
Life's a game I can't play
So why must I hide
Deep down inside
My silent scream
For an unattainable dream?
One day, just maybe
I'll again be adored like a baby
I'm now only truly happy
Alone. In a nappy.
