A life that is not mine to live.
Waking to the fear of another day.
A grind of a day that twists my emotions.
Strain of doing what is right when everything is wrong.
A broken man trying to tell himself,
This is where I belong but, at the same time...
The rage pushes me away
And I watch the disease spread.
Youth spew a mouthful of hate.
I took away their innocence.
Tears of pain and remorse slowly fall.
She catches them in cradled hands,
And feeds them back to me.
For her... I do the same.
An evil reoccurance of love.
I try to fight the thing I should not be
But, for so long the battle has raged inside.
Killing the man I was supposed to be.
An empty shell of someone.
How can I love someone,
When I can not even love myself?
This shall be a battle I will win.
For my family and me!
