Dillon Lewis Poet Rhyme

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.
