Fathers Death
Father's Death
Healing is such a process Life is a long journey
Living with pain is chronic
Chronic pain makes one sleepless
My hero is gone who should I turn to?
Days went by, thinking deeply
Chronic pain has been part of my life for a decade
Time doesn’t heal anything it teaches something else
Living with pain like other chronic health conditions
My hero is gone who should I turn to?
His funeral came yet I didn’t show up
I hope to do what's right in the season of winter
My heart is broken like a broken glass you won’t be able to fix it
My eyes are red like am developing eye disease
My weight is slowing punching down like a wheel having a slow punch
My hero is gone who should I turn to?
I may be strong on the outside, inside am weak
Father you left to soon, I can’t bare this pain
Come back because am weak, am afraid to show my mother
If she finds am weak, she will be heart broken
That will also break my heart, am caught up
My hero is gone who should I turn to?
