ADOPTION

The man who was supposed to protect me told me:
If I need to choose between you and I
You know the answer
Right?

I knew.
It would never
Be
Me.

In another life
Grandpa sang me a lullaby.
I wish I could say to my inner child
That this time things will be done right.

You will be
His first choice.
No matter
What.
