Just Like Me

July 30, 2013

I can't pray to an invisible man

Ask for everything to be perfect

But sometimes I wish I could have that peace of mind

It could be all worth it

It would help in those times when you wake up

And hear screams of, "You don't love me, you don't love me"

It kind of makes you wonder if anyone was meant to be

And when you tell your mom you're going to move out

She says she'll cry and be lonely without a doubt

Do I make something of myself or be there for her?

I just wish life made this easy

Or I could start over

And father

I swear I won't turn out to be the person you've become

I may have your face

But other than that I'm human

I'll be someone

See, I have respect for others and will be there for my children

Love my wife

And never forget how lucky I am to have her

I see that's never what you'll be

Just like me

You wish you were just like me
