Call Your Daughter

black or white
I can't help who I am.
I am your son
you made me
I didn't ask
for any of this.
So go ahead,
let everyone know how disappointing I am,
tell the world that I failed you.
But don't leave out the part where
you abandoned me.
Make sure you tell them about all of my interest,
if you can.
When you're looking for money at the end of the month,
call your daughter.
Maybe she'll come around
and not treat you like shit.
Or call your sisters.
But if you happen to find yourself neck deep
in desperate measures
and my name comes across your mind.
Remember where you left me
I wont be hard to find.

Sara (I Miss You Too)

It's true
She has riddles on her walls
written on maps
in invisible ink
It's true
She has a cut out of James Dean
it makes me look twice
every time
I see it.
It's true
She has lightning
somewhere deep inside
of her.
On her arms
On her stomach
On her soul
It's true
Her tattoos
Sing a song
But I don't know which one.
She won't tell me.
It's true
Sara,
I Miss You Too

10 Years

It's not like I expect you to read this
friend.
because i know you wont.
You don't see what I see.
You don't live how I live.
I could blame you for the past
and for the present.
But you still wont see what I see.
You don't know where I'm going
or where I'm coming from.
You see only 5 five around you
and you keep it that way.
Is my struggle any of your concern?
I've listened, I've advise, I've encouraged
while you sat in silence.
I don't hate you
but,
you fucking disappoint me
friend.
