13
Dirty diapers and caffeine, man those where long nights
Sitting amongst the shadows until the house echoed your cry’s
I would sit with you in the dark and tell you every story
You’d soak it up and fall so deep I swore I heard you snoring
With a tiny grip you hold my soul with little resistance
Something so small is now the biggest part of my existence
A future for me to mold but I fear I am not worthy of this gift
When just 9 months ago I was in disbelief and thought it was myth
Shit I think I’m stuck I should of left when I had the chance
Now I have to man up? But I’m barely old enough to be at this dance
And what of my future? I know I can kiss college goodbye
No time for education now, time to strap boots and get a 9-5
Trade in beer pong and parties, loose woman in thongs
To car seats and minivans, picking out my favorite soccer mom
No more staying out late with the guys for drinks and cigars
Instead I’ll be home hung over from cartoons and toy cars
This is a sacrifice I don’t think that I can make
I’m thinking I should just leave and disappear before she wakes
But as I look down into my arms where you snuggle
You look up at me with big brown eyes and it’s trouble
All my worries and doubts melt away in an instant
All of a sudden it all makes perfect sense as if it becomes instinct
I’ve been here since......
Destiny untold
The future hides in shadows;
You are my flashlight.
