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
