Innocent

I’m sorry about some of the choices I make sometimes. I haven't really been showing you how much I love you through my actions, while you have since the day I was born. I know I can be foolish at times, but that’s why I to help me along the way. I see you as who you are and not as who you’ve been, and I know you’ll always do the same for me. I love you.

Dear Family,

I guess you really did it this time…

Left yourself in your warpath.

Lost your balance on a tightrope…

Lost your mind trying to get it back.

Wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days?

Always a bigger bed to crawl into.

Wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything?

And everybody believed in you.

It’s alright, just wait and see.

Your string of lights is still bright to me.

Who you are is not where you’ve been.

Your still an innocent.

Did some things you can’t speak of…

But at night you live it all again.

You wouldn’t be shattered on the floor now, if only you had

seen what you know now then.

Wasn’t it easier in your firefly catching days?

When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down

to you.

Wasn’t it beautiful running wild till you fell asleep?

Before the monsters caught up to you.

It’s alright, just wait and see.

Your string of lights is still bright to me.

Who you are is not where you’ve been.

Your still an innocent.

It’s ok, life is a tough crowd. 32 and still growing up now.

Who you are is not what you did.

Your still an innocent.

Time turns flames to embers, you’ll have new Septembers,

every one of us has messed up too.

Minds change like the weather, I hope you remember, today is

never to late to…

…be brand new.

It’s alright, just wait and see.

Your string of lights is still bright to me.

Who you are is not where you’ve been.

Your still an innocent.

It’s ok, life is a tough crowd. 32 and still growing up now.

Who you are is not what you did.

Your still an innocent.

Lost your balance on a tightrope.

Its never too late to get it back.
