With feelings guarded behind thrown up walls

He hides his pain

Jumping from one tangent to the next

Never stopping to breathe

His mind is full of all kinds of things

His worries are those he cannot fix

Which makes him angrier

He does not want to be consoled

He does not want a hand to hold

Affection is not his top priority

Feeling that might make him human

He rushes around like a robot

This broken road I found you on is littered with my sins,

But you saw that I was broken too, and showed me how to win.

I know that I have hurt you, and made it hard to trust me,

So please just hear me out, that is my only plea.

I love you. You make me smile.

I want to have children with you, in a little while.

You are the only man, who has ever held me tight,

I know when I am with you I will be safe at night.

I would be lost without the guidance you have given me,

You showed me the life I chose was not meant to be.

You push at me and tell me to do my best,

Even though sometimes I don’t pass your tests.

And you give me yet another chance,

To show you I am worthy of your romance.

You have never given up the hope that I’d turn my life around,

You helped me and showed me how to stay on solid ground.

So I say thank you for everything and for believing in me.

Thank you for showing that you love me and won’t leave.

My MoM

My mom is strong and kind and wise
My mom is loving and caring and giving

My mom is solid like a rock
My mom stands tall like a great big oak

Her words are kind when I’m in pain
Her voice is stern when I’m to blame

She comforts me when I am sad
She lifts me up when I feel off beat

She gives me strength and piece of mind
A better friend I’ll never find
