Am I to Care?

Am I to care what they think?

Am I to care that they accepted me?

Am I to care that they risked it all,

All for me, they trusted me?

No.

They tried to rescue me.

But I lost it all and they expected me

To fight the losing battle against my enemies.

They wanted me to forget my past,

The things I took for granted,

I miss the most of all.

My family is gone to those who I

Almost joined from lack of hope.

Am I to care that they took care of me,

In more than one brutal way?

They left me as a tortured creature,

Among the predators that could devour me.

Am I to care that I betrayed them?

Or, that they are slowly losing this battle?

No.
