I’ve tried…

I’ve tried
Open your eyes and
shut your mouth too
So that you can see
what really surrounds you?

Do you see?
How you treat them?
Do you see?
How you talk to them?
No you don’t see
how their eating you up inside.
How they silent your voice.
How they shut down your choices.
How they are using you.

They latch on to you
To attract your friends
To impact your decisions
To compact your life
To de-attach your everythings,
To scratch out your major life goals
To subtract what you have become

Look at me son
they are poisioning you
I’ve tried and I wont give up
I wont let you fall through the cracks of their disfunctions.
I wont let you fall into their mistakes
I wont let them take away your greatness.
Now I don’t no everything but God placed me in your life as a father to do whats right and I see a little further than you do further in life
But trust me
I wont stare you wrong on the decision
My son
I’ve tried
and I won’t give up
Trust me
I wont let you down.
