10 Years Old

When I'm in the mood to write, I mean I gotta take advantage Because the words I write help through years and years of damage Damage I tend to push aside Feelings that I try and hide Feelings that I push away To make sure everyone's okay I'll take all the weight, I'll take all the pressure, For this family I've made, this family I treasure. So I get out my stress by writing, well that's my healthiest of ways So I can stop all of my hiding And enjoy more of my days Because I'm living my goal I set younger than ten To be a great dad and be the best that I can And show them right from wrong, be their example of a man Now I need to concentrate, On how truly to appreciate, This family that had been my goal Since I was only ten years old
