I remember that night
I heard a scream, "Don't come any closer now"
"It's gonna be alright,"
Were the only words my big brother found
Us kids huddled up, wide eyed
I heard a chair jumping over the table
Blurred vision, watch stops, in drops cops
What's the moral here, Aesop, one of your fables?

Ten digits I recognize spell (DON) 'TPI-CKUP
Conversations I've memorized word for word
About how it's all my fault,
Something I'm sick of
But I'm the wielder of the water
Go on, I think I'll plant my seeds here
Ain't no more room for the squatter
I'm happy just pulling your weeds here

When I'm down and out, on my own,
These poisonous thoughts, they get overgrown
And I can feel like I missed out,
But I know that isn't real,
On being a child,
But I know that isn't right
Every moment led me to this wonderful life
Grateful
