their biggest mistake

fake a smile
conjure a grin
play pretend for a while
while you wither away from within

you cant let them see
how damaged you are
put on your mask
adored from afar

they say they care
after all they adopted you
but they're never there
to do what they promised to

they gave you a brother
a mom and a dad
no more fear
of the one they labeled dad

maybe they'll see
before it's too late
that you were without a doubt ...
their biggest mistake
