If I tried
To hide
How I feel
I wouldn't be real
Heart on my sleeve
Never a need to deceive
I'm a sensitive man
Doing what I can
Even though I'm broken hearted
The indifference has departed
My kindness is saving me
Prevents me from acting savagely
My eyes seen so much pain
Nearly drove me insane
I love my family with no end
But they bring pain I can't contend
My daughters are my true salvation
Also the spark to my ruination
That situation is so discouraging
Yet loving them is encouraging
As I walked away from my past
The desolation couldn't last
I loathed the way i portrayed life
Superficial gains no longer suffice
Each day Im living is simplistic
I am becoming more realistic
If I can lend a helping hand
Offer another a chance to stand
I feel peace draping over me
Here's one thing that will always be
I'm a leader from birth
Ive always known my inner worth
