A Promise
I'm growing up father I know you're looking down at me or next to me.
Telling me wise things in code,
While I live my life to be a better men,
Til the day death comes to me when I'm old.
We meet again share are stories again in the afterlife,
Right know I'm writing the chapters to my adult life,
I feel I ain't doing it right as my brother tells me wise words,
For the situations that I meet I'll be educated to those words.
A flower is bloom beautiful it took couple of years,
As it learn the reality it's in or the reflection of depression,
The moon allowing it to be free from the sun til it steers,
In the light allowing it to be stronger than it ever was,
I know I'm lacking but I'm packing to jump higher you'll see.
Time is in my shoulder as I beat to the drum,
I'm just being me if I'm weird to these.
At least I'm happy with myself I thank you dad,
You been on my mind in the bad times,
Wishing on the stars to wish I had,
A moment to go back tell myself,
To not be critic to himself allow himself grow into the person he be,
If his third eye open up quicker as the school years went.
Life has plans you don't know about,
I made a promise I'll get out,
It's three years now and I make promise that I'll be better than anyone in my family be the first to the limelight or get paid for the skills I master over the years,
I seek for the self worth I see myself be.
Father I know I'm single just been planning,
Every girl that came my way I drift off again,
For I felt I wouldn't be enough some just waste my time.
To see the heart I have for I had one who got away I remain.
Here in the moment of life stated what I want to say to you.
So here's a promise change is now,
The fire I stated an month ago is bright,
I'll use my full potential to be know,
I'll live a life I want to live no one tell me different might,
Want to say I know you're here with me.
Let's go chase a dream I promise.
