We might not always get along
Never agree on who's right or wrong
Are you proud of person I've become?
Or disappointed how short of a distance I've come?
Born to be loved
Can tell by my name
After all these years hope you view me the same
To see frown knowing I'm the reason why
Makes me want to remove the coldness from your eye
Die a little inside every time you call to yell
Pressure applied to my surface will not help me excel
And I realize you only want what is best for me
Can't fill shoes of the person you expect me to be
We snap back and forth sharing words sparked by spite
Too stubborn to surrender the fight
All I desire is faith put into my hands
By the one human who above all else I would think understands
Tomorrow never promised
Only have today
Which is reason I'm making this card to say
I'm grateful to the father who has always been there
Regardless of differences I'll forever care
Life is difficult now but troubles will eventually pass by
Nothing will change closeness between you and I
Wrote this for my dad's birthday card
I know so nice and cheerful hahaha.... Not!
But what can I say I put honestly above everything else when it comes to my writing regardless of the occasion

Most people get the benefit of the doubt
"Eventually they'll figure it out"
What the helll's that all about?
I'm expected to master it in an instant or I'm out

YOU ARE FINE.
Well...
     eventually...
you'll be.

You will rise into me.
Sitting in our cocoon.
It's not so easy.

Accepting fear and pain.
Trauma and rage.
Yes! These can be transformed.

You're okay yourself.
Together...
         little one,
we'll live.
Feels so random yet so convincing. One of these fine days, these will mean something.

I don't want to rule the world.
I don't want to rule anything at all.
Because eventually, those who rule
Fall and fall hard.

everyone envisions their hope for their future
whether they want to lose weight
or whether they want to fall out of habits
some people envision having a family
having kids and a dog
marrying that one boy that makes them so happy
is it bad that in my future i envision nothing for myself
perhaps in the future i will be gone..

hearing your voice
and hearing your name
brings back the pain
of what was yesterday

i found your coffee stained shirt
hidden deep in my drawers
and it brought back all those memories
of us at the corner cafe

and days where we’d sit along the bay
and count the stars
as we’d name them after our dreams

these days i find myself
trying to let the time heal eventually
all our memories
all our history
and all you meant to me

If you love something
You should set it free
Not keep it chained
Where it doesn't want to be
Because if that love is true
And meant to be
It will return to you
Eventually
I have to say this is one of my favorites. I am quite proud!
