Stone

I wonder why people ask me how come I never smile, 

What’s there to smile about when my world the world around me is crashing down,

Washed up like a wave and I’m preparing to drown, 

Having no home to run to so I just move on from town to town, 

That may sound sad to you but this story’s only starting now, 

Reckless abandonment of a father who never loved his son, 

Raised by a single mother that did what had to be done, 

Bills stacking up like bodies I never knew what she went through, 

I tried to help her out but I was too young really what could I do, 

She told me to focus on my education and you just might make it boy, 

Wanted a father figure but he’d rather play with my feelings like a toy, 

Little did he know this ones defective and wouldn’t follow his path, 

Put his hands on innocent woman and thought I would take his wrath, 

Lefts scars that’ll never fade but I kept pushing every single day, 

Striving to be a better man and expecting nothing to fall in my hands, 

Now I’m in a good space where the rose grew from a dark place, 

Often I may look back and think at what I could’ve done different, 

But after all that misery and suffering my comeback is that I keep living.
