I apologize for the broken promises, my intentions were there…

Demar Desu

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…
