Remember, remember

The promised childhood

The one of the goodtimes

The one with "happiness"

The one with friends

When was that?

Is childhood real?

The promised years?

Some have years of hurt instead

Years of drunken fathers

Memories of abuse

Times of distraught

Of hurt

And loss!

The few of us

Can't help but distrust

Those who believe

In happy endings

Instead, we lust

For the ones like us

Who never got the chance

To believe in such a bust
