One step forward, one step back, ongoing this plan of attack.
I breathe, I forsake the very breath that I take. Just want to end
the pain of this life of strain. I travel only to find myself, to take a break
from the mistake, the blessing of previous resting. A tiny soul calls out
as I weep in the deep of my sleep. Love at first glance, I never stood a chance.
Willing to make room for this child of a foreign womb. A mother keeps her away
for fear that she will go astray and once again be lost in legal cost.
I don’t know what to do, how to act, what to say in order to play, to listen and
be at a father to my daughter. I call out to you to let you know that I love, I care,
I am ready to accept you and offer myself in all regards. My daughter, my love,
my pain, my gain, my everything, I yearn for you because I cannot sleep, I cannot
rest until you have my best, until I show you that I left out of fear because what I
held dear collapsed under the weight of empty promises. I have grown, I have shown
that no matter what I cannot forget that because of me, you exist and now because of
you, I exist.
