DEDICATION
I would like to thank my family and
friends for their love and support. Thanks!
You’re appreciated.
THANK YOU
I thank you for being there through my darkest time even when the rest of the world payed me no mine.
You watched me suffer and hurt when I felt meaningless, just like dirt.
You gave me self-worth.
We even tried to make it work.
Through all my trials and trivialization, we found a reason for a celebration.
Totally dedicated and thankful for all that you do.
Sharing my most intimate moments with only you.
I thank you; I thank you in appreciation.
I thank you; I thank you with all gratification.
You got me through the toughest of weathers, you did everything to make it better.
You navigated and guided me all my life, I thank you for your sacrifice.
I CAN DO BETTER
I know I can do better
I can do better than you
When I look in the mirror, I see clearer and clearer
All the pain I feel with you
It’s my faith that gets me through
I bury the anguish I keep deep inside
But these feelings, I can no longer hide
Suicidal thoughts run through my mind
But I think of all the things, I would leave behind
What is your purpose to me?
Are you a test? Are you what’s good for me?
I ask myself these questions
But funny how life teaches us so many lessons
So I no longer feel ashamed or do I pass on the blame I do what’s best for me and stay in my lane
I’m not looking for anything to gain
I just want my sanity and to stay sane
So you can say, “whatever, whatever”
I know I can do better
BE A MAN
Allow me to be who I am
Allow me to be the man
Let me run the house
Respect me and leave me with no doubt
Don’t stop me from doing my job
Pray for me really hard
So I can keep my health and strength
Protect and serve with relevance
I’m not asking for much, even when I’m scared
All I want is a partner who shows that they care
Give me my roses while I’m still here
Don’t tell me, I’m not doing my share
