ITS COMPLICATED

ITS COMPLICATED
I would tell you about 
My biological father 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
The things my mother had to do 
To support her children 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
My struggles as a child 
Growing up in my village 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
My wasted years in school 
And Why I played the fool 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
My failed marriages 
And failure as a father 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
My plans, dreams, and aspirations 
But it's complicated.
I would tell you about 
My strengths and weaknesses 
My success and failure 
But it's complicated.
Damn!!
I just told you about my life 
And the only conclusion 
You can come to 
Is that it is complicated.
You are no better than I...
