Calm on the outside
Trembling within
Strength of a man
Heart of a child

Why didn't they teach me
About life in school
Why didn't they advise
It could be so cruel

Just grow up and realise
You're on your own
Fumbling with emotion
Swim or drown

They all seem in control
Like they have it all
While I smile and struggle
With no idea what to do

Life, may just be
Pay bills and die.
Maybe he lets me in
Because he knows how I adore him

But at least he lets me in

Meh Settle on down

Leave the wonder of.

So that Meh can.

Gone go on now.

There's no time to finis

What was half said nah.

I wait by the playground.

As my sweet grandchild play's.

Takes my mind away.

Until my wonder taps meh gin.

No place fa meh to get in.

So ima send H.I.M a message airplane as he works hard at..
Bombay station.

Chatting bout technology.

No time.. I'm gone get sleep and yawn with no cares.

*** the usual will be..

Forgotten me after the jobs all done.

My princess ready for her evening routines.

And my eyes are already yawning as the evenings dawning.

Casually forgotten and no time to make me feel beautifully thought about.
And sweetly answered. Conversations still being had.

While I have planted unanswered seeds, notes, images, and audio  gentles.

Meh gets no care.

Its fair

Cuz he cares.. But he fairs in daily

Must be done s.

As I fade on unvisited long left days. Wasted gourmets untouched cuisine of human emotion.

Seeds unfertilized.

..Bare essentials as The Roamer tills leaving room for my wondering.
TAP OH BY THE WAY..

I didn’t smoke before I went to sleep last night

And I thought about your arms the whole time

What a privilege, I said

I want to see you again

So I am sober
