I won't put on an act for you, Saying words I don't mean. I mostly feel numb, Uncertain. I wake up and I wonder Why I don't shine. But I do for some. Our little son Thinks I am everything. Tells us every day. "I love you". And as I leave for work, Even our teenager tells me. Is how you love me enough? If I can't love myself? I don't know the answer But through everything We try to be there For each other.
Love in my own hands Stretching, cradling. The pulse in my wrist as it beats Faster and faster Through the lines on my palm. Life lines, Worry lines, Family lines. Out through my fingers to touch the universe. Something to give away But never to keep.
