Now You Have Nothing Left, poem by Signe Robertson, 2008 You're a monster You're a god You're a human You're an animal Eyes blindfolded You stagger around Randomly hating Randomly loving Just to leave your mark Without thinking You could take a deep breath And make decisions you won't regret But then you would just sit around all day There's more to do when you're stupid So you just go out and you laugh and you cry And you kill and you heal Just so that people will see you Once there was a lady Who loved you very much Even though you were always ugly and mean She said, baby, my son, I'm always here She knew you'd need her later Do you remember? Someone loved you for you Somebody wanted to keep you But look what you've become Where is your mother now? Is she even alive? Do you even know? Someone decided to give you the world You just laughed and ran away Now nobody looks at you anymore Nobody will love you again Your mother is dead and gone There was a funeral Where you there? Well, this is your life There's no one else to blame Now you have nothing left Nobody cares for you Nobody wants your care You once had a mother's unconditional love That was all you had And most you could ever get You forgot all her birthdays And now she's dead And now you have nothing left |
