My Daddy
Just like always
He love sitting in the room alone for long
Looking at the reflection of his face in the mirror
Asking himself through his eyes with silent words
what else he could do to save us?,
where is he lacking to keep him altogether?
How to keep working for better?
And he wasn’t finished with all the self doubts yet, the image of his had started to get blurry,
A stage where he couldn’t see himself at all
With the pain in his eyes that he is trying to hold on with no blinking cause
seeing helplessness dripping on his face made him feel even weaker
A Stage where all the self doubts in his head Made it more difficult to walk straight
But with all this weight he does walk with bended back
A stage where he does want to quit but the weight of responsibilities, promises made him stay
And this untangled hope drives him back to the bed where he sank into it to emerge tomorrow again
Just like always
And Every question remained unanswered tonight too
Just like always
