"Ever since I was a young kid, I've always had to stand on my own Two,
Never really slowed it down or gave it any thought on why it had to be that Way,
But now as I'm older and wiser, I understand it now in the present Day,
I never recieved the proper attention from that father figure because it was Nonexistent,
But he tried to fill that black hole with many cards and letters as at least he kept that very Consistent,
That wasn't enough though as I needed so much More,
Hoping that I'll eventually get it but I never got it as it just left my heart Sore,
Got to give it up for my mom, as she tried her best to raise a young King,
She kept it all together and upright no matter how thin was the String,
When it's time to give thanks, she's always first in line to receive her Appreciation,
If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have underneath me that strong and solid Foundation,
As I look around me and see myself looking at all these Walls,
Remembering all those times they have heard my cries and desperate Calls,
I'm so glad that now I don't feel so imprisoned and shackled up anymore and behind these Bars,
Proud of the young and humble man that I am becoming as I made it out and I'm done hiding all of these Scars ..."
