Sorry Poem by James Casey

Sorry

I stand before my mother, bathed and smelling sweet
But she doesn't see me, might as well be meat
Must I kneel before her, clasp my hands and pray
Tell me what to do, tell me what to say

Mommy didn't want this little boy
I can't help what can I say?
If I could I would, but
I just happen to be your boy today

Father can't you see me, I'm standing right here
Can't you hear me crying, can't you smell my fear
Don't you walk away, don't turn your back on me
Why can't you love me, just love me for me

Daddy didn't want a little boy
I'll have balls, I'll hate them
I can't take them away, but
I can be your boy, be your boy today

God Bless Mommy and Daddy
