Only My Kids and I

Look around. .. Friends? What are they? Not sure...because they're no where to be found Sit back and relax Sip on fireball and watch the candle wax As it mealts along with my tears So many lonely years Nowhere to belong Every night its the same song Every day its the same silence as I pray Paint make up on my face just to make it through the race A smile on my face I fake Until the rainbow appears No more storms Just the wind blowing and birds chirping I wont let anything keep me down Not fears nor nightmares I will live strong to make it to the next day No more one way streets Sorry...thats just no longer for me From now it takes two in every situation If not...there will be no situation Good or bad ill be there But it takes two... Can you day the same for you? Im done with all the lies... The broken promises... And the dreams which never come alive... Words are just that....words Im now action...so show me, or leave with your goodbye word Family is friends Friends are family No one has the same story Yet, if you got me, I got you....always...no matter whats the story Soon I realize it's just me, myself and I Im alone in life Look in my kids eyes and see the love Remember what im here for Them...they are all that matters They will never pay for my past or mishaps They will receive love Always and forever Unconditionally The light in their eyes shine so bright Their love is never far from sight They will reach their dreams In life, they will achieve They have heart They have soul They have a conscious They have what matters They have grace and beauty They have joy and are witty They are amazing, simply a blessing They are giving...never under estimate them
