A Beautiful Mind...

A Beautiful Mind...

What will the kids do, without a father to find,
This crazy old world, is too much for a beautiful mind,
Confused, depressed and tired, I can't hold on to my heavy heart,
I feel a breakdown coming on, I spoke to woman, I didn't know where to start.

Tight noose, obsessed with writing, I can't see happier times,
Looking in the mirror, thinking how can I leave them behind,
I stay there for minutes on end, I'm just overthinking, then I cry,
I just cry,
I wipe them away, but they don't stop,
This crazy old world, is too much for a beautiful mind.

Do I turn my situation around, how do I find my cheeky, kind smile,
This weary dad is so, so proud, that I have two loving angel's on my side,
I can't help thinking though, they deserve a lot more, for a better life.
This crazy old world, is too much for a beautiful mind.

So I stare,
Eyes wide open,
Hands against the wall,
Praying and hoping,
That I choose not to fall,
I can choose!
I do have a choice!
Loosen noose!
I do have a voice!

When I speak to you,
Please, will you listen,
I try to be, the best me,
So I'm not in a prison,

Thank you, for being you,
Thank you, for being true,

As I still stare,
I am with my heart laid bare,
As I still stare,
My life, will! go somewhere,
Life?
What is my life?
As my heart beats, I won't be blind,
This crazy old world?
I'll find peace in time,
For now, you'll get a cheeky, kind smile,
In time,
Peace,
I'll,
Find...

My absent father.

So. I had 10 full years with you
Because you left when I was 11
And your son was only 8...
