I'm Just A Product

had a problem with herself
slow to think
quick to react
fell for a man
he took her by the hand
and led her to and through Hell
and back
and back again

Daddy, where you've been?
last I heard you tried to kill me
so young, barely an infant
I'm still here, why I can't you see
that I'm a product of your lust
a product of your hate and disgust
and I will never love you
because you just abandoned me

Mommy where is your mind?
it's been dormant for a long time
living in a world of endless dreams
and hear I am and I want to scream
trying to respect you
but you are never there
a product of your misdirected love
a product of your failure and blind trust
for a man that only used you
a man who only knows the joy of pain

a father I'll see only in my head
a mother who's mentality I must entertain
with false hopes and false affection
while I struggle with myself
feeling the pain of my own loss deep inside
and when it all seems too much  
not one will see my lonely tears
as I cry myself to sleep
dreaming of an upbringing
envisioned only within me
