My Reason To Succeed, For Rio

Finding the courage to carry on After all the chaos life has shown Drug addiction, death, and depression too This chaos is simply all I’ve known I’m looking for my own spot in life A place I can be comfortable in my own skin To be financially capable to care for my daughter And to forgive myself for my past sins Starting over is hard on its own Especially when I don’t know where to start I’m broke, depressed, and I hate myself Being away from Rio is breaking my heart For her, I know I’ll never give up I’d walk through hell barefoot to see her smile Someday I know I’ll make her proud My life gained purpose when I had a child Rio, you know daddy loves you so very much I’m so sorry it’s taking so long Eventually, I’ll be able to move closer to you Don’t lose hope, sweetheart, stay strong I love you more than I can describe. For once, I don’t have the words... Love, Daddy. D.R.L.
