I never forget
And never regret
The scars that come
From good things
That I've done
I've loved
I've been loved
But never by you
Because while you
Gave me life
Gave birth
Never searched
For me since
And like a knife
In my back
I recognize
The scent
Of rejection
And the aroma
Of abandonment
Today I celebrate
Being alive
Being awake
Because you carried me
But I am sorry
Because you did not want
To ever know
Who I am
Thank you
Because of you
I have had this thing
People call it
Life
