*Through Aunt Harriet (David's aunt)'s perspective*

She is my flesh and blood, my sister

And I truly had missed her

I needed her help, her helping hand

But I was declined for whatever I stand

"My baby is beautiful" I told her

But all she heard was a big slur

She can't say no to me

She has to let stay free

For "I am not ashamed", I strongly claimed

"My baby is beautiful", I repeated

My life is over, I was defeated

And I left that house knowing I'd never see my spouse

For I knew he would marry another

To make her a "true" mother
