I never could remember much about
My childhood with you,
So all you were was a product of the
Stories told about you.
That makes you a drunk
Narcissists, That it's incapable
Of being a parent.
And now you are a troll living under
The 10Th street bridge, afraid
To cross it because you can't
Pay the toll of seeing the successful
Family you left behind,
So you camouflage yourself in pity,
And shelter yourself in shame.
