Unstoppable Reunion

There was no welcome tears the day I came into your life,
for just a bundle of flesh to give you more strife.
There was no wise words that help me guide my way,
for you just looked at me and walked away.
My mother tried her best to tell me you really wanted me,
but I knew all you wanted was to be left free.
I was a mistake that you never meant to create,
and you thought only of your freedom never my fate.
You left us thinking you were the one that was right,
but you never knew the hatred I bore in the still of the night.
Seasons pass years go on and I grew to a man,
all the while understanding my real plan.
I turned of age and you were no where to be found,
so I set out alone putting my foot the ground.
I searched the places you went go long ago,
to find they man that bore me such an ego.
I finally came upon your presence hiding in a cell,
a true victim of yourself living in your own hell.
I Found your mother and she let me see,
the cure you had become the missing part of me.
You swelled with pride when I told you who I came to be,
a child at death’s doorstep that you forgot was me.
You said you had your own life to handle and so what if I was dead,
and as I smiled this was in fact what I had said.
A hurt so profound that those words drove me to our meeting here,
so that you could bare witness to my tear.
I don’t cry for me no more because I have come here to do what I have done,
for you have forsaken me father, and it’s time to bury your son.
He died long ago when you had neither the love or conviction to fight,
in all he died know that you would unite on this very night.
