As I drift through life day after day Following what’s known as the Norm I find myself searching for unanswered questions Who am I, what will be and why
All of my tomorrows are yesterdays A mental torment of what might have been Pain on the inside with no external scars Just memories that sometimes turn to tears
Each teardrop that rolls down my cheeks Every thought that endlessly causes me to cry The tingling I experience in my fingertips Where things have been torn from my grasp
As I try to move onward wearing my mask I feel invisible and fit in well with society Amongst people it’s easy to forget Until reality becomes one with loneliness
You soon realize there are decisions to make But you put them aside with confusion If you make the wrong choice on something Who is to blame for the rest of your life
People forget there are choices in this cruel world And we all have the ability to make them We are responsible for our own actions But sometimes blinded by love or deceit
If I was to kneel beside a pond or lake I would look at somebody I didn’t know in the reflection Because I have to change my whole life Doesn’t mean that the person inside is different
This smiling face would be seen quite clearly Whilst the pond or lake is clam But suddenly, two sets of ripples would appear The picture distorts because the tears start again

About this poem:
I wrote this poem when I lost contact for 2 1/2yrs with my baby daughter and went through a number of emotions that were new to me and found writing them down gave me something to look at in future times to show me how better things are now.
carol is correct, you have to live 'em to really get to write 'em well. i see you've lived 'em.

I certainly have guys but, I had no idea there was worse to come due to the great British Legal system ( family law ), any man can be a father but, it takes a special man to be a "DAD"
