Don'T Forget Daddy

Don't forget Daddy.. I know that Daddy used to see you daily But it's only on occasion lately And "lately" starts to feel like "forever" Daddy thought things would have already been better Yet it seems as he begins to rise from the ashes Something happens & he just crashes Falling further than before But don't forget that Daddy is still climbing Because you three girls are all he adores I know our time together has grown far and few But he is always thinking of you Sometimes daddy doesn't always know what to do But don't forget he'll always be there for you I know daddy used to work hard to keep a roof over your head But now someone else has been instead I wish daddy could answer your when? & why's Just don't forget that he still tries I know daddy has no home and no bed He sleeps under an open sun roof because the battery is dead So tonight the rain falls in Ironically working as a disguise that hides The tears that insist on escaping his eyes Yeah I know daddy lied when he said he never cries But don't forget daddy holds himself together for you guys I know daddy used to unite our family Now it feels he's torn it apart again single handedly But daddy still fights for that life And if for some reason we're not there before he dies Please don't forget that Daddy loves you More than words can describe

Man At Last

Man at last

I know i was a man in the past
But i lost my way
I fell off the path
& the pain is overbearing
The thought of my kids thinking 
That their dad just wasn't caring 
But I've finally found my way back 
I no longer need a sack 
To forget my problems
Or numb the emotions 
I just need my girls by my side 
I am no longer needing to hide
My daughters have been deprived 
Now I'm ready to fight
Even if it's for the rest of my life 
I'll be on the front line of this War 
Cuz I feel it in my soul to the Core 
I don't need a mind altering chemical 
Their daddy is finally Unbreakable 
& like i said before 
I know I lost my way
And fell off the path In the past 
But trust and believe 
Im ready to be a man again at last

One Day

She says she's "protecting her from me letting her down"
But shes only depriving her of a father that tries
I just hope shes not filling her head with a bunch of lies
I can only pray that one day she lets go of the past
& allows a future for me and my daughter 
Because I can't imagine a life without her
I know this won't last forever
Because in my pain i found faith
& without faith I am lost
If I'm lost there's nothing to gain
Can't go through this all again
But why do these tears fall from my face
Because theres a loss of time we can't replace
But thats how I found the will & the strength
To stand back up & restore my life
To a time when I had the right
To keep my little girls in my sight
And they didnt have to hear us fight

She says she's "protecting her from me letting her down"
But shes only killing me & hoping I drown...

Downfall

Downfall

We're stuck on repeat

It's making my heart beat
& hard to breath!

No more sleeping

I've tried screaming

I've tried bleeding

& I've tried pleading

But it's not easy make believing

That I can leave these feelings for you behind..

The best thing that ever happened to me

Has now become the worst thing and I can't think

It's still the same old story stuck on replays

& I can't replace all of these days

Or all of these ways
That I've died

We act like nothing is something

So our something becomes nothing left in the path that we're made to decay

Let's just be safesafe

& not retrace 
All of the mistakes that we made

I guess we've decided it's not worth it

Nothing anymore is perfect

I'm so certain that you're uncertain

So I guess that we'll close the curtain

Because I don't want to fight

But i won't make it out alive

I could care less about pride when it comes to me n u

You told me to make a wish at 2:22

But it never came true!

If it did

You would've finally had a clue

How much I love only you

Maybe I'm cursed

And my heart is meant to hurt

Until it bursts into flames and burns

Blind Eye Salvage

Here we are again at  a point with no vantage

Trying my hardest to see your point while that finger I see you point

Feel like im at a disadvantage while you tell me im only here to take advantage

But baby I love you and you love me too!

So our viscious cycle recycles as we turn a blind eye & try to salvage
What we can of a relationship some call savage..

We couldn't care less how outlandish

Cuz once the storm has passed & were back together

It's promises of being better  

And tell ourselves that we can manage

Couldn't imagine not being forever

Lost In the Woods

When you're lost in those woods, it sometimes takes you a while to realize that you are lost. For the longest time, you can convince yourself that you've just wandered off the path, that you'll find your way back to the trailhead any moment now. Then night falls again and again, and you still have no idea where you are... It's time to admit that you have strayed so far off the path that you don't even know from which direction the sun rises anymore. If & when you find your way back you will have to accept that many friends and family lost faith and gave up their search for whatever reasons. The ones that didn't if any will always hold a special place in your heart. Do not hate the ones who left you in the cold though, remember they had to grieve for the person they didn't believe you could be.
