Insecurities
Boooooom!!!!!
Opening my eyes
Don’t want to face life
The sun streaming through
Is like a stabbing knife
There to torture me
These cold thoughts
Fire in my mind
Like bullets trying to put me down
The sound of my own breathing
Keeps me awake
Locked away
In the hell of my own creation
A prisoner on death row
Waiting on justice to fall
Don’t know how to let go
I’ve thought about it
Been mistaken for having a soul
This weakness has tested me
A ticking time bomb
With a faulty primer
It’s a waiting game
An intermittent connection
Just a matter of time
A split second
Booooooom!!!!!!

Save Through The Eyes Of Superman
Thought about this.
Writing makes more since to explain.
Lived in a small town it seemed there would be nobody else.
Comfortable it’s all we knew.
Anyone who would come in to threaten this I’d save us from it.
Isolated there seemed to be no other way with us.
Bored of the safety sometimes she strayed away to find danger.
That danger is not in me.
You’d come back from time to time but never remaining the same.
A piece of you was taken each time you disappeared.
I never thought I’d move on.
She remains engraved in my mind.
Memories alone spark happiness.
I’m not here to save you anymore you have to save yourself.
Some don’t want to be saved.

INSECURE
who am I? so far
from home, the place I yearned to
leave. a wandering soul

Good Enough
Almost every day the question comes to mind
Was I ever good enough to him?
Dealing with the struggle of a shared custody
As the years passed by, the situation got grim
Little by little I gave up more of my time
It seemed like the thing to do rationally
She’d be a better parent than I could be
All the while I had started another family
I could always see the hurt in his eyes
Even as he smiled and laughed happily
But as he got older I got all the blame
As the shame weighed so substantially
And for many years I carried that guilt
Until I said to myself: No, not anymore
I know that I’ve tried and keep on trying
To be better a father than I was before
He may be a hundred miles away
But I think of him everyday
This relationship seems to get harder as he matures
Parenthood is never that simple
Even when I acted on impulse
I may be insecure but my love as a father endures
And whenever that question comes to mind
I remind myself of his affection and leave the guilt behind
