I Hated You Then
Why as a 1-year-old I was left with a maid?
Why couldn't I spend my childhood like the rest of the kids in laps of their mothers and shoulders of their dads?
I hated you world then!
When I had my maids around but not my ma.
I hated you world
When my friends would go home excited to talk about their days with their ma
While I just went to my TV and maids and computer games.
I wanted to discuss my teen issues with cousins or family,
But all I had was a maid and presents coming from "family".
Not in person but only on letters,
Why didn't I have a normal family?
I hated you world for doing that to me!
Kids had birthday parties with friends and parents and presents,
I had all the presents and more coming.
But where were you, my cousins and parents?
I hated you world for taking them away from me!
Now in my twenties when everyone talks of love to their loved ones,
I just don't know what love is.
Nor a loved one to express it too.
I hate you world for making me so difficult to deal with and no one to hold hands with.
