truth is

i'm named after my father, yet somehow i don't believe i will grow into his shadow.
i'm five foot nine, and his shadow six-eight.
i fight this fight, day after day
spit out blood, and get back up.
i'm getting tired of these fake people; fake posts, tweets. fake pictures. laughing for the sake of it. smiling for the photo. take a seat.

i've never feared death or dying. i've only feared never trying. i am whatever i am. only God can judge me now.
i'm so done with this unfulfilling busy work. i'm done with pretending. i'm done being gone.
i want to be there
there for you.

i need to be me; you need to be you. i won't judge you if you return the favor.
your feeling down? you feel like you don't matter?
you're not alone, cuz i'm right there with you.
just do you.
cuz you have potential. you just need to work at it.

till next time.
