Creation
Devastation
Obliteration
Condemnation
Is this
What Lincoln foretold
Of the emancipation proclamation?

I should always be first priority,
Only second best to your family.
Not to some stranger you don't know,
Not to your hobbies.
I am bitter when you place me
As your afterthought, as something
That will always be available.

To the brother that stood in that role of dad.
Happy Father's Day.
To the uncle that took of the mantle.
Happy Father's Day.
To the step dad that assume that role.
Happy Father's Day.
And to all the Fathers that stayed in the life of their child.
Happy Father's Dad.
Even to a friend that mold a  male child into a good role model.
I wish, a Happy Father's Day.

It's been said and stated that most boys finds trouble.
When a male presence isn't around.
Which can be debated because as long as you have foundation.
A child world won't be broken down.
This is a matter of opinion.
Which is my opinion of truth.

But to a son in society.
We base our world as a man around our dad.
And, for those that knew one.
You know exactly, what I'm speaking about?

His love for the family just stood out.

Maybe life will be everything I thought it was.
Maybe this ain't the escape I dreamt of once.
I need to slow down, maybe say, "pause".
Take the reins, pull over these lost thoughts.

It gets better. It gets better.
I wear my mood like the weather.
It gets better.
Right now, Fall is my favorite sweater.
Bright orange reminds of the day I first met her.

True colors finally show just before the snow
Shoulders shrug before they get cold
I should've known.
I wore my coat to postpone fresh grown sorrow. I should've known.

And I'm thinking back to Summer's plenty
Forgetting the day she left me
And the way it blessed me
Now I'm drunk with my feet up, breathing in real serenity.

finding serenity in this place
if only for a second
is like catching a cold

if you dont pay attention,
it just might sneek up on you

you can try to find it,
but most of the time you wont
you will keep searching like the eagle in the sky

If you find serenity in this place
consider yourself lucky
YOU are one of the lucky ones.
either that
or you're trying too hard.

you see, serenity should come
out of thin air.
like the wind in your hair.
you shouldnt search for it
It should come.
Those who do search
become so immersed in a perfect world,
that they cant get out

so im changing my mind

I am a lucky one.
Im not going to find serenity,
im going to wait for it to happen.

Galileo saw darkness when he looked up, you saw darkness too.

Galileo saw a shine in the darkened out sky, you saw it too.

you asked Galileo, what is that shine?, Galileo said, its you.

Don't ever forget that where darkness comes, you can always be the light, for that is what life is and that is why it always feels like a fight.

The dark is a wonderful place
It is beautiful and mysterious
All of it's monsters sit there
Lurking just as before

Now though, in the dark
I don't have to see the scary faces
The shadows embrace me
The silence, quite calming

When all else fails and goes away
The darkness always stays
