Poem
I have been a man since before I was a child
Having moments so harsh sending me into the wild
As a boy 14 I learned the man in our home was not dad
I learned my biological father recommends abortion my mom left sad
She refused due to her belief
Only her parents as her relief
As a young man saving to move out on my own
I received a call on a bowling alley phone
My stepfather had done something to my sister
I went from Sean the teen to MR
my mother confided in me bringing truth to light
He hurt my sister so deep this cant be right
He looked at me and lied to my face
My life accelling at an uncontrollable pace
He went to jail where he deserved to be
I was left to support my family
I became a man the instant I heard my mother cry
I remembered her strength when she refused to let me die
I watched as she wept tears forming a puddle
I told her to go where she could climb from the rubble
I told her find happiness whatever it takes I will do
just want my mother back I love you
find the path toward a new beginning
you did nothing wrong he was responsible for the sinning
I could not believe our world came crashing down
Hard to smile when your family wears a frown
I grew from these moments became a man
on the frontline through experience no idea no plan
I became a father shortly after 
that was my chance at a new chapter
I grew stronger as each day passed bye
Never seeking therapy to find out why
One of my most defining mistakes to date
I would learn the downfalls a little to late
After years of constant growth I became ill
major depression, suicidal prescribed pill after pill
Hospitalized for my recovery to take place
Couldn't look in the mirror at my very own face
I learned too many lessons the hard way over the years
holding back memories hiding the tears
I never had a crutch to lean on when strife appeared
had to rise to the occasion live up to my beard
had to face that mirror and tell myself 
You will rise above adversity but you need help
I have been in therapy for over 15 years in total
learned so much about feelings it made me hopeful
But the problem is no one around me has received the same
So when it comes to explaining myself others look at me in shame
They don't understand the feeling process as I have learned
Knowledge is a power through therapy I have earned
why do others see my knowledge my growth as rude
I try to explain my opinions and beliefs they get misconstrued

offer new life to me and I will keep mine
I imagine they someday allow me to shine
