I gave you all that I had
Every moment, of everyday- spent just on you
The thoughts and prayers of my soul, and the deepest wishes of my heart
No matter how many times considered, would not come true
If only you could see the scars placed on my life
Because of you
No one ever understands what it's like to be the world to someone
And then be erased from their life in an instant
You don't care
You don't see what you are to me
You're the reason for my hate, for my love, for my past, for my future
You're the one to blame
Can't you see
Do you not understand what you've done, and what you're doing
I wish that I could hate you
But I can't, because you are my reason
My reason to keep going and show the world
Show the world that who I am, is because of me
And not you
I can not put into words
How many times a day I remember you
How many seconds are wasted on the past
I don't need it
It is but a memory now
I just thought I would let you know
That I will make someone of myself
That is my promise
That is my vow
Not because of you,
But because of me
I wrote this quite some time ago about my dad. I was cleaning out some drawers, and I found it. It made me think that whether it be a father, a boy, a friend, or anything- there is always that one thing that will always hold us back. That one thing that will always keep us from doing our best, that one thing that we loved so deeply and that destroyed us. And you know what, what we do about that one thing is what determines who we really are. We can let it consume our lives, we can run away from it, we can think through it, or we can grow and learn from it. And by the decisions we make about our lives and our problems gives us our character and our morals. And those, in a whole, determine who each and everyone of us truly are.
