I'm stoned everyday
Because of what I got taken away
So I pass by hardly being there
Because I was taken advantage the one time I care
I'm too dead to be alive
I don't know how to survive
Then bring up that sweet baby
And there's no chance you can save me
I'll fall deeper and deeper even more
Because she's what I would have cared for
The only thing I love in this world
Was that little girl
From the second she was born
By me, she was adored
So I'm depressed
I don't even bother to get dressed
Crying away the nights
Because they made me give up my rights
Now, the cuts are too deep to heal
And sadness is all I feel
That child meant so much to me
She was my reason to be
But now I'm worthless
Because that girl was my purpose
I could write a million words
But it won't make me hers
I wish I could describe this pain
But unlike you, I had to give up all I could ever obtain
That child, you got to keep
But mind was taken in my sleep
I tried to tell them they were wrong
But still they said I was “incapable” of being her mom
Put up for adoption without my knowledge
And now I don't wish to go to college
I wish to keep going, no more
For that child is all I would have changed for
So she was taken without my approval
And I was destroyed with her removal
She was all I needed and all I'd ever had
For she was my baby; my seed
And now my heart bleeds…
*I named her Aaliyah. For she was one in a million*
