Lonely for what Should Be

June 25, 2010  |  Uncategorized  |  1 Comment

I think I'm lonely for what could have been, for what should be. Lately I have been thinking about how ripped off every child is who my dad fathered (dead or alive). I said, "It is like their hearts are crying for justice & I can hear it."
