The Things I Can't Do

I enjoy learning about the things that I can’t do

It allows me to work on myself, and become a greater person

I use the things I can’t do as power

With that power, I work on making them into things that I can do

Yes, it’s not the easiest thing in the world, but I still try

I want the people around me to see only the good in me, because…

If they saw the bad in me they wouldn’t stick around

They would leave me faster than my own father did

They wouldn’t even turn around to help me when I’m down

This is a feeling that I’m getting used to, because slowly we are all drifting away from one another

I sometimes stay up at night thinking about my life without those close to me, and I keep coming to the same conclusion

And I realized it’s one of the things that I can’t do, and don’t want to change

I can’t live my life without my support system

I have searched most of my life looking for a good one, and I finally got it

I don’t want to lose it, but I can’t control the drift

It’s the most powerful thing that I have ever been up against

That doesn’t mean that I don’t try, because I do

Every day I put on a fake smile, so you’ll smile 

I don’t want any of y’all to be sad, or even feel the slightest bit of depression

Because I know how it feels, so you don’t need to know

The thing about that is…

That’s another thing I can’t do

I can’t be with you 24/7 to make sure you’re always smiling

To make sure that you never have that grey cloud over your head

That doesn’t mean that I won’t try

If there is one thing, and only one thing that I could always do it would be...
