| Do you remember me? I�m you� The lost boy looking for his mother by the jackrabbit. Crying out loud looking for a way home. Holding onto his mother so tightly he can here her pulse. I�m the boy looking at the girl he knows he�ll never have. Longing all the same. Knowing that some times you have to hurt to live. I�m the kid winning the prizes, the ribbons the belts. All for a man who never shows? Realizing that you can�t change people. And a father�s approval isn�t a requirement for fulfillment. In life. I am the man old enough to die for his country but I can�t get a beer. Fighting to graduate, realizing that a slip of paper should be cherished. It�s harder to get than you think. I�m the man weeping in the hallway. Poring out my heart. Feeling that some things can�t fix. I am the man marring the one who hurts For what I feel is the only woman who will ever love me. Thinking it�ll never be good enough this is all I can have. I am the one who finally said enough. I am the voice that keeps reminding you that rainbows exist and It�s all right to smile. There is hope, there is pain there is joy. |
