I always said I’d be a terrible parent
Too afraid to turn out like my own
I always said that I can’t even take care of myself, how could I take care of a child
But looking back I was already a parent
She may not have been from my body but she was mine
She was the first person to truly make me understand love
I hated everything about life, from the ways the birds chirped, to the snow on the ground, to the
sun in the sky
But suddenly there was the life I had to protect
A life that made life worth living
I may not be her mother or her father
But she will always be my child
I will always have her in my mind
Always carry her in my heart
And she will never know it
But she saved my life
