is there maybe anyone
who wants to adopt me as my mom
can I maybe write an ad
to find me someone like a dad
the job will not require much
maybe an embrace, a touch
don’t worry there won’t be much to do
beside the occasional ‘how are you’
Once i was a baby girl
all cute and sweet covered in curls
but somewhere along the way
something really went astray
and even after all these years
i still can’t handle joys or fears
like i’m incapable of coping
so much to be i am still hoping
is there maybe anyone
who wants to adopt me as my mom
can I maybe write an ad
to find me someone like a dad
until then i’ll learn to give
myself the love I need to live
cuddling myself to sleep
promises i’d like to keep
