come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I am incredibly limited in words
to describe how great parents are
to share their wisdom
to share my pain
and to look out two steps ahead
of where I am headed
it’s not to say it’s fairly fairy tail at all times
but I must admit
sometimes parents see
what you don’t know don’t know
and will keep a toe in out to see me fall
and doing it properly is surely a challenge
yet tough love is still a love
so keep your head up and try see the world.

I am frustrated to have found myself in a confusion again.
I knew where I was headed.
I knew I did my best then.
but given the place I’ve found myself embedded,
I wonder if I had digressed too much.
I wonder if it is the same North Star that guides me up there.
but what use is it to foresee the future and such
when the fire is raging here everywhere.
I keep my head low
and listen for a wisdom hidden in river flow.
