Another life spent. Fearful future unfolds. Another set of rules. Another child grows cold. That fearful future. Options left untold. A search for something else. That seems so hard to hold. How can I sleep knowing you're out there. How can I not carry the world for you. How can I not scream out in the night. How can I not hurt for you. Another promise. For salvation shatters. Another stands on the edge. Wondering if it matters. Another failure. Stares at his reflection. Because he fails to meet perfection. I fell so many times. How can I let you make the same mistakes. How can we avoid certain illusion. We are all failures in someone else's mind. So why can't we learn to please ourselves.
