They put me in the oven to bake.
Me, a deprived and miserable cake.
Feeling the heat, I started to bubble.
Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble.

I'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine.
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall.
Sorry you weren't the one I saw when I came home that day
Or the one I'd run to when I had a bad day.
I'm sorry you didn't hear me write these; you'd have been so proud,
And you weren't there to lift me up on a cloud.
Sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear,
But then again you should have been here.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me to ride a bike,
Or the one who took me on my first ride.
I'm sorry you weren't the one who carried me on his back.
That was my other daddy, the one I actually had!
Or the one who held me tight when strength is what I lacked.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to hold me when I cried
Or tell me I did great when I really tried.
I'm sorry you were never there to teach me how to cook
Or there at night to read me my favorite book,
I'm sorry me as a daughter is what you never had.
You will always be my father, but you will never be my dad.
(She never met her dad so she is angry at him for leaving her.)

man she idolized.
She never felt love's bliss,
'Cause she was paralyzed.

About love with a smile.
She never got to walk
Down a church's aisle.

A friend I can count on,
to listen and understand.
A lover, for me to hold,
that is truly a good man.

I love when you smile,
and all the things you do.
So I want you to know that
you're my dream come true.

I know in my heart now
that no one else will do.
Happy Valentine's Day Baby
I'm so glad that I met you

I'm always getting beaten, never treated well
I'm the one child's whose life's a living hell.
Thrashes on my back, bruises on my face
All because I didn't clean up this place.
I don't have a bed, cement floor is all I got
Cold walls, no blankets, not even a cozy cot.

Green is so important
Because we see it all around
It's up very high on the trees
And on the grass that is on the ground

Green is the colour of
The plants that grow in the south
It's also the colour of a Brussels sprout
That I refuse to put in my mouth

Green is on the traffic light
When the cars can go
All the green disappears
When it starts to snow

The most important thing about the colour green
Is because of my mother
NO she is not green
It's her favourite colour
(the word green is repeated multiple times.)

You are the gravity that holds me down in every way.
You are the moon that shimmers throughout my night.
You are stars that glimmer oh so bright. (This is just a part if the poem. I see him hugging her in the shining sun I see the moon and the stars while they cuddle)
