If you're trying to hurt me
If you're trying to get back at me
it's working
If you're trying to cripple me
If you're trying to immobilize me
it's working
I'm just trying to keep my head above water
Every time I think I've made progress
You bring me right back down again
and show me how weak I am for you
Which started all this trouble in the first place
Stop dwelling
This is the time to get better
There's no time to fix it together
it's all on our own
or it doesn't look like I'm coming back at all
You don't want this to be
a permanent handicap
because I won't be your crutch
or to catch you when you fall
the choice is yours
When one has a new beginning or new start without the kids or wife,
He will begin to see a spiraling down fall of what became of his life.
She cracked that whip on how much time was allowed on the net,
He looks around the house and sees the mess he allowed for it to get.
The kids and wife kept him busy and kept him physically healthy and fit,
After he left her then his life became somewhat of a mess and a bit of a pit.
A weight gain then happened from spending to much time alone you see,
To pursue things he enjoyed that were not allowed before to happen or be.
Pestering sweat rolling down my neck
Night time vision is my only set
Eeasing into the medical socks
Using prescriptions to slow my cough
Moments of fun are passing me by
Oooo how my temperture cries
Now I hope to never go through this again
I don't enjoy not having a voice
All this time wasted on being very sick
and that is why i have been gone for a while.
The answer said Dancer is a dash in the EAR.
Included and counted, all around with great care
Cherish each other is the message in stone
Written in Space and Time as One.
North said to South
WE love in between
South said to North
It's time we be seen
