Moving On... {New Piece}

As your heart has grown fonder
My heart has grown colder
You walk around on air
I got the weight of the world on my shoulders
You love me
I don’t
You’ll give anything
I won’t
I don’t want to forgive you
You think I should
I don’t want to give my all
You think I could
Through all the pain
I’ve found a love for self
That means so much more to me
Than any monetary wealth
I struggled to maintain for so long
And now I’ve found my peace
I’ve found a new focus
I’ve gained a new release
So your crying complaining and tears
Sad to say are all for naught
Because I found a new love for me
A love I once forgot.

One Man

I've given you pieces of me
shown you what I am made to be
Man. father, brother, son
I am all these things in one
I embody these things in this space
one face, one place
one man is all I can be

I try to be Superman
with speed and strength untold
yet I try to be sensitive
longing for someone to hold
I try to be a teacher
for your endless pursuit of knowledge
I try to be the bread winner
to put our children through college
yet through all thisI am still, one man

When you need to feel protected
I try to be your thug
yet I try to be loving
when you just need a hug
I'm your passionate prince
when you want to make love
I'm your prayer partner
when you need the Man above
I work hard to be everything
you could ever want and need
your epitome of strength
the father of your seed
Understand this one thing
one thing about me...
I am only one man
and that's all I can be.
