“I am Carlitos from the beginning.

With me came an awful hand I was dealt:

a Mother’s passing after I took my first steps

A Dad’s addiction left us with no parents

 

To become with no affection or love

How to feel wasn’t an option

Pain was my only friend

Numb to words, the touch I didn’t feel

 

Now, with no excuse for my wrongs

I won’t apologize with words

I will only show my actions to give you my word

My apology is action

​

Forgiveness is for you to decide

I’ll carry my cross and burdens

With high hopes you’ll forgive me

I have faith an angel will carry our pain and hurt

to our Lord and then he will judge."
