Be the person you want as your kids lifelong friends.

You keep running from a world you also walk it to the beat. I learned to roll my cuff to keep my heart offsafe up off my sleeve. Every time I fall I learn a little more. I'm just too tired. I'm incomplete. I'm falling I'm down and out. It feels like I will never find the absence what is missing? What's missing inside of me? What's inside, well once was. made me the man I need to be. Silly boy I am strung along to dance from cuffs and collars and down the sleeves. You stare like their's a heart left much less it's beat It is no more less a metaphor than the war you made and left inside of me. Now a prisoner I have become to my mind and all that's broken me. What is broken? What's broke in this one? Please save or just finish breaking me. I can't do this alone and that's all it feels like I'll ever be. More akin to a shell than a man of flesh these days. Cut me off at the root and father I pray. Please grow me again in your garden to stay help me walk like you father I humbly pray thanks for saving me and for the will to guide others to walk this way
