The Better Straw
A chance to love again…
Exercise this tired organ.
Yearning to love, whether broken or yawning
Apparently. “Joy comes in the morning”.
But my chosen straw filled with laughs and mourning.
A child tired of lies… originating from family ties
You walked a mile… with a smile.
I just wondered how you slept at night.
Your heart harder than cemented tile.
Afraid to fight, a fathers fight.
Now you say “a brother or a sister ??”
I guess a chance to exercise this broken organ
To mend my tired … broken heart
Maybe their birth could be a start.
The better straws out of the Four…I promise you., Guidance, Affection & protection
Two by Two or 2 x 2 ,
You two had the better straw out of the four.
I prayed for a time of our family’s love & peace, “Lord please…”
But, Best the abuse was out the door.
Little brother, little sister
Understand there was not another mister
Because of the this thing we call “love”
So I took on the role of a father, in this dysfunctional & chaotic picture.
Your time was far from perfect, but closer to something healthier & richer.
The physical, mental abuse before your time…
The everlasting effects on brother and I…
Should be forbidden and regarded as a crime.
Insomnia nights, alongside a cheeky cry.
In you two. I heal my tired… broken heart
Self-taught loyalty and love so I raise, teach & will forever guide you two.
You both dodged our bullet, with a more concrete start
Now I see you two blossom, oh … my creative piece of art.
So, I tell you this … you had the better straw, the better straw.
I understand the struggle of an absent father
But I am here to guide and protect you
Fairer chances at this life for these 2 straws you should rather.
Note : For the love and bond of family,I will give every breath to make sure specifically my younger siblings are good. They are me and I am them. I feel it is my role to help, support and guide them. Even to that, children are innocent they do not deserve to be brought to a world of suffering or pain, they deserve love, loyalty, trust and respect.So prepare for them a safe and stable environment. xoxo
