Life Passing Me By

a man, a real man rather i say going through trials of parenthood where the mother of his child breaks the rules in the courtroom and out. sad when a parent holds a child over the others head.

My life passes me by day after day. I think about life and death and my nephew tray.

I ask my mother often, what’s my purpose on this earth. She said to me the lord has a plan for me from the start of my birth.

I sit here with this pain and pressure, I don’t think I can handle it. Sometimes I feel like erasing myself from the face of the planet.

I been having these same feeling for a good pressing while. Every since she lied and said judge he’s done nothing for his child.

Now these thoughts here sinking in my head further and further. Like who in the world are these people putting things in the head of my daughter.

Oh father, what should I do when the judicial system failed. When the judge saying he’s gone throw my sorry butt in jail.

These trials I’m going through makes me want to give my life up, but for the sake of my daughter, I got to be the only grown up.

I’m blown up in a rage this mess is making me mad, hearing in the streets that I’m such a dead beet dad.

So sad thinking now and then you think this world it’s so strange, but there’s no difference in it, only it’s the people who changed.

I get drunk sometimes, making these painful thoughts leave my mind. Till reality hits putting my head back in this twine.

Of these sad thoughts, in my room, wiping tears from my eyes, as I think about this life while i sit and watch as it passes me by.

I know you are a good father and you will always be there for your daughter for she needs you as much as her mother. Don't give up on that or on life for life or the judicial system can be unfair to a lot of people . Just be the role model to her and when she grows up she will appreciate all the good thing you have done for her. And seek solutions whether material or spiritual for alcohol or drugs or any substance can make things worse in my opinion not better... You are a positive man and you have that great spirit... Like I said before always be the change that you want to achieve for it is hard to change others unless we change in general... Hang in there my friend...:)

The story is well told and the feeling of despair and despondency is captured very well by you here Kelvin. The subject realises that life must go on for the child but keeps slipping back into depression. Well told!

Well this is sad, but it's a fact. You can't just sit there while life passes you by. You have to catch up with it, or you'll never hava anything again.
