I don’t know
what it’s like
to have a mother.
I don’t know
what it’s like
to have a father.
The earthly parents I have
just don’t play their parts.
My father still doesn’t know
how to be a father.
Excuses all day.
And my mother uses her
past experiences as a disability.
Lacks motivation to help herself.
I’ve tried with them.
And tried again and again.
Same outcome every single time.
Still I will keep trying to get to know them.
