i remember when things were different. i recall not feeling the things i feel. restless nights, anxiety attacks…anger. that isn’t me. it shouldn’t be. so what is the cause? are the 4 walls finally closing more and more around my surroundings? am i finally getting agitated at the thoughts of not reaching my goals?
i’m partially lost. i don’t know what is fate and what is choice. i want to yell, throw everything in rage. just…destroy and throw punches. not at people but at certain points of my life.this has been building up for some time. i have just been lying to myself about it. i leave memories in certain places where they can’t bother me. from then i feel empty inside. there is never closure. there will never be. i put myself on the line for people. i attempt to give them something they never had before: hope, someone that believes in them…a friend that won’t leave when the storm arrives. majority of times there are happy seasons…then it all comes down little by little.
i remember when i took this picture. i was confused about where my life was going to take me.i was scared each and everyday about being a father to him. things were as solid as they could be in the relationship…but i was there for you. that’s what mattered right? i mean i was a father and i wasn’t going to leave my responsibility. things were so hard when i snapped to reality. i had to stop lying at one point and see the bigger factors.
Winehouse wasn’t working and we weren’t working
So I was at home fucked up until my hurt was hurting
But I was determined to be great, so the bullshit can wait
Cause the years that I spent, didn’t amount to shit
fast forward through the he say she say…trips to court…using a child for leverage…the hate, ignorance, and lies. now we are here after some odd years. i’m doing much better than i was at that certain point. still, certain events haunt me. shit, the whole transformation will always bother me. i had more care and heart back then. i was foolish…and i think others who are around me can see that in me. not matter how well i do there will always be that opening…i don’t know the route to closure.
i see you over there…you’ve always been around. you didn’t want anything to do with this at first. something pulled you in. you are a victim of other casualties. for what we have you are a avid volunteer. still i see the pain.
you don’t think i know a little something about masking the truth? I’m nearly 26 and i have lived through so much emotional breakage and separation. maybe closure begins with us…the moment we can call a day our own. so much eats away at me from left and right…yet my ass is still trying to make something for a future. why can’t i just quit? doesn’t it shock anyone that i keep moving forward? i fear for whatever it is…most of all i apologize for whoever i leave along the way.
My father gone, my grandmother too
Paralyzed by the pain, I can barely move
Now Jay is gone, my heart is torn
Sometimes I look to the sky, ask why I was born
My faith in God, every day is hard
Every night is worse, my chest hurts so hard
