To the absent figure in my life
This was a poem I wrote about my birth father, in my life my mother played both parents as he chose to not be around.
I'm blinded by my memories and stories I've been told.
Are you the person I envisioned
Or are you the narrator?
For what may be a fake story
Do you ever regret the things you had done?
Do you ever just want to go back and fix what's right from the wrong?
You know what hurts
I'm scarred with your information
I'm not miserable, this is just a statement;
I don't know who you are
But your love has escaped the world of
what seems to be..
Such a complicated lifestyle
A lifestyle that turned you into a selfish man
Mistreated the ones that loved you
Erased the people that helped you
It was all for you
And only you
With such a figure that is yet so weak and damaged
It is not the one I desire
I want to inspire
But, What if I told that my life is stable
And your image is unattainable
Would you then question?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
