You need a partner they said, But didn’t teach the rules you must abide by! You need a companion they said, But didn’t give you the space. You need a friend they said, But didn’t let you open up when needed! You need a family they said, But didn’t teach you need to follow the command! You need parents they said, But didn’t tell you how messy it can get! You need to get a life they said, But didn’t tell you might have to leave everything behind!
