Fatherless
There are some who will choose to be fatherless,
Even when they have one still around,
Believing lies in between what is obvious,
And the truth they were taught thru a frown...
Without living your life for a moment,
As you're trying your best to explain,
That the past may be yours so you own it,
But the present leaves no room for blame...
Becuz you still watch them from shadows,
That the sun seems to hide from their view,
Right behind them as they face their battles,
With such pride they wont call upon you...
Does it prove to them that you arent needed,
As you hold your hand out for their clasp,
If they choose will it mean they've conceded,
Or they lose what life meant them to grasp...
There are some who will choose to be fatherless,
And will yell it till they lose their voice,
While the others that hear them are bother less,
Because they know someone left them no choice...
