I told myself to enter
foster care system @ 30
hoping that would be enough time
Such a fool I can be…
building a foundation for the future
not for me, or you but for us…
I may have to break that promise…
please forgive me… please forgive me…
I apologize to the kids
but I think your parents need me too
and so do the grandparents…
let us take our time being people…
I am no father
but I am a brother
I am a son
these titles were destined for me…
I can be that for you
I’m sorry if I come up short
I was never 6’2… forgive me…
I am only trying to control chaos…
