It Is What It Is

I keep trying to push you away, but its like you refuse to let me I wish that I could disappear and you would just forget me You know...like I never existed Wish I could block you like a call that's restricted And I love my son, but I wish he wasn't yours Your anger and violence flows from his pores And I am so terrified that he Will grow up to raise his hands at me It really is a sad situation Having to beg you to be a father to your son And now I'm just angry and fed up At times, its so hard for me to keep my head up I just feel so ashamed Guilty for all the times I allowed you to call me out my name Embarrassed from all the bruises and scars Prayin and cryin for a better tomorrow But I guess it is what it is I just hate that it all had to come to this

Draw strength from deep within you. You have what it takes. Don't let fear say it otherwise. Relying on God who is in control, of us and of our situations. Love you, Toquyen

Sheri, if this is from real life, the mother will always have the biggest influence on a son, see yourself in him and hold on to that image...David
