That my dad wasn’t just my dad.

He was a dad to a hundred and 20

Not just a little but many

Kids.  

I guess it fits,

But sometimes, I hate how he made me so 

Dependent on his affirmations,

I want to be proud of myself.

Even if I have little patience.

Even when I am too loud.

I’m not the damned of the nation.

I will bring light and laughter.

I will learn to be better.

I am learning to be better.

Learning doesn’t mean failure.

Burning doesn’t mean danger.

I want to stand up and rise to new heights.

I want my eyes to roll back til I see glowing white.

Cause Lord gave me a heart and mind.

There’s always been time, I’m owning it this time.

I am the best I can be, I will be the best I can be.

I will make mistakes.  Nothing worth it is without pain.

I’m growing up dad.

And if I’m totally changed, it’s ok.
