Hereditary

Hereditary

I remember when I was just a boy
I'd lay awake at night thinking about dying
It was scary I didn't want to
I couldn't clear my head, I'd fall asleep trying
I'd tell god and Jesus that I loved them 
Over and over in my head
And hoped each morning I'd be alive
Another day I wasn't dead
I always thought that I was strange
Did people really do this?
It was all to baffling 
I was very young and felt clueless 
But it must not be as weird as I thought
It seems hereditary 
Because my son just called me in his room
And he said these things to me

Cherie 

it did seem to em to give him comfort and even though I lost my faith growing up I see it strong in him, so I told him about me at his age then I went on to add that it's a far way off like my mother told me. Then I told him who knows by the time he's old he might be able to put his brain in a robot and with his imagine he dreamt he dreamt of being a robot lol so hopefully I helped him out lol
