Grew and grew

They look at me and see disappointment,

They stare cautiously with the hope to see me fall,

I am no more worth the bread they put on their plates,

No more than any of the toys I never received under the Christmas tree,

Imagination is the most funnest place i belong,

I play with that car I wanted, with the mom and dad I never knew,

So, I grew and grew... the hate they had to see me fly,

But more and more I grow unsure of what I am in this tiny universe,

I pass through gravel roads alone,

With no one to hold my hand but myself,

I feel rejected, walking in the shadows alone,

But yes... I grew and grew to know there is nothing worth fighting for,

And I woke up in varsity, social suicide for helpless me,

I never asked for anything, yet they wanted to rip it all away from me

The little happiness I had gathered throughout all my years of struggles,

And yes... as I grew and grew, they just faded,

I am now working and a father of two beautiful boys,

And now they are the ones growing,

They cry their tears to me but I have no shoulder to offer,

I am exactly the beast they had hoped to tame and tamper with,

But I am also grateful 'cause I grew and grew,

I grew for this dark reality, for this happiness I own.
