Because you exist Is the best reason For you to persist

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

I choose to be The Most Unclean So you can see The God in thee

I knew I loved you When I looked in your eyes Recollection of places Not seen in a while Bright, sunny, and free

People tell me not to think About my own demise But what if that’s the only thing That brightens up my eyes

You say this I say that We are caught in a rat trap Take a breath Step it back

Your face Transcends Garnish

I’ve never really cared about me I know I’ll be fine I’m the benchmark of resiliency You’re who’s on my mind

I’m not sure how I’ve come this f… From sinking pit to shooting star. Could it be when I loved my scars… Or when I chose to be this bard? Maybe, it happened, as a lark.

Darkness envelops Veins of fire rend the abyss God’s awemazing works

I have a grip that’s never loose That’s why I always get my goose I dig my claws into your soul Until I’m your silver and gold

I appreciate you Facilitating breakthroughs With love I didn’t know due This wretch without a clue

We gave our world to Father Time To fill our pockets up with dimes While Mother Nature sits and crie… And waits for us to open eyes

I don’t write poems for poets Flowery language, indulge us I break it down With a simpler sound And anything more would be less
