What if we stopped fearing and started loving? Loving the unique. Loving the different. Loving them.

Once there was this girl named Je… Tall and blonde and oh so dreamy Milky skin with essence steamy Just one look would make you cream… Told me that we’d be a team-y

It won’t be pretty the tears the snot the mess Lifetimes

I pour my heart into these prose Because I feel I need to go Into the darkness that will show What needs to surface from below

I’m not the one That I should be I’m just the man You came to see Imperfect you

Rain, rain wash away All the stains of yesterday Here I stand, made of clay Mold me into my today

Give me... A campfire, Smokes, And a bottle of rum; I’ll regale you all night long.

Life after age eight Put downs and berates People don’t like you When they look like fools

I cast the blame on you and her That just might be a bit obscured To tell the tale with honest voice I have to acknowledge my choice

Because you exist Is the best reason For you to persist

It feels like I’ve created a life Centered around mostly sacrifice And I don’t want to be your Jesus… So I’ll be the Devil Bass line to your treble

Whether you want To face it or not I’m still your dad Both of our faults I chose the you
