ITS COMPLICATED

ITS COMPLICATED
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My biological fatherĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
The things my mother had to doĀ 
To support her childrenĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My struggles as a childĀ 
Growing up in my villageĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My wasted years in schoolĀ 
And Why I played the foolĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My failed marriagesĀ 
And failure as a fatherĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My plans, dreams, and aspirationsĀ 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you aboutĀ 
My strengths and weaknessesĀ 
My success and failureĀ 
But it's complicated.
Damn!!
I just told you about my lifeĀ 
And the only conclusionĀ 
You can come toĀ 
Is that it is complicated.
You are no better than I...

Wilford Barker.
