This is my first poem ever written. views on life and family.
Awaken the Belief

This is me but how can you see
I try so hard but you won’t believe
You wear your heart on your sleeve
All the while you scream at me.
I see. I believe. Will you believe me?

I’ve made mistakes in my past some more recent than most.
Yet I hold myself to the grinding stone.
The disappointment I have in myself is more than just mere thought.
I will spend the rest of my life trying to get this burden off.
I can’t seem to think of what to say because today might be the day.
The day that we’ll both regret but we will never forget.
Never shall I let that day come. Trying my hardest I shall not fail.
I will not be the end of our life together. Not by choice or by heart.
Remember death ‘til us part.

I drive. I drive very early to very late.
Sometimes fast sometimes slow sometimes asleep
I drive with one eye open and the other shut oh so tight.
My energy, like a knife, is failing. My time, my life, is sailing.
I can’t stop time from passing. Our son grows so much. I am missing it.
Will I be good dad or just another deadbeat? I’m scared of this time warp.
It’s all to fast for my liking. Slow life down I think not.
Adaptation to the speed of life will serve me best.
Be careful how you rush through life because you enjoy it or dislike it if you’re laid to rest.
