my father always told me I understand
when I got old this internal heard of a
lone soldier so held firmly in my right
arm with her head on my shoulder because
that's the way she likes me the holder
that's what I told him
speaking about my daughter in order to
save face because just before the
embrace in other I love yous and arm
issues she clearly let me know that she
had issues talking about daddy
where you been and just then my mind
again sinking back thinking back to
those Saturday sell them show up days
those seem like my father don't want to
bother help me grow up days so sick of
not seeing my dad I want to throw up
days those my mom said you shouldn't
come nowhere near where we resided cause
she decided to blow up days anyways
her eyes were always able to pull the
disguise offer any lies i might try to
use to summarize the situation you see
it's funny the way a second nature where
I put these words the paper but couldn't
figure out a simple explanation to offer
my baby girl don't like having to admit
that tomorrow just maybe growing famous
as your mom and see what she say
but the balls in her court so we got to
play how she played but hey I tell my
big girl not to fret cause all this
dirty okanagan likes washing we haven't
finished filling up yet
you see when parents are not in
conjunction of dysfunctional child is
inevitable see mommy's not on time with
Daddy in that is not on time mommy
so the child grows up while schedule and
it's incredible because he always told
me that I would understand when I got
older while he used to call himself the
lone soldier and one night when she
called crying and I couldn't get to
withhold that even though it wasn't some
games shit i felt like it was some Wayne
should I told just because i couldn't be
right there after a nightmare about a
fight between me and her mother she's 16
can't conceive how I could leave and
still tell her i love her so how
inquisitive little mind for sort of
question my ration now begs me not to
reply he had no she won't see why we
have to live in different places or how
come her little brother don't see each
other's faces on a consistent basis and
it hurts when I have to lay down the
hand and discipline no one that I just
get to spend a short segment of time
with her
so imagine how I feel when I got the
hitter and don't get it twisted
sometimes I fuck up and don't get it
because my ego won't let her mother
called me a babysitter before my baby
girl swallow my pride show through for
my kids today noting that
go through it
