You Are Not a Man

I didn't have to give you another chance because you walk out on me when you found out I was having your child Then I gave you another chance and you walk out again and after our son was born I brought you back to do the right thing because of everything I have been though with doing what I had to do to save my son and you walk out for the last time It crazy because for 6 months I fought by myself to save my child and now my son is laying in bed fighting for his life and you just walked away how can you sleep at night knowing what you know Marlon you are not a man I been by your side for 4 plus years though everything But when life just got real you ran each time I hope you can live with your self because my son going to make it and I am going to tell him everyday like I been have that his father love him just not here at the time I hope you can live with yourself But you are the one who have to live with it not my You are not a man so stop calling yourself that A man don't run away A man steps up A man do what he have to do no matter what he want at that time A man change his way to fit what is going on A man listen to what need to be done and not try to have a power so no you are not a man But know this no matter what I am going to do what I have to do for my son and thank you for blessing me with him
