Hello my name is Robert and I was born in Chicago, I’m here to tell you a story though, about a boy and a man who was born early and thought the heart could stand the stress put on by the man, who died on year after I was born,
Torn between death and life, I never had that chance to say good night Dad, or goodbye Dad, people keep telling me I’m a spitting image of him but I wanted to see for myself, I was searching for pictures, searching for clues, but the unknown man the whole time was you, not you but me, I’m trying to keep his legacy but like my last poem I Feel Like Death Is Apart Of Me,
So I’m searching for a body to match a face, while my mom was searching for someone to take his place, I’m not mad at her for that, hey mama need love too, but where do you find love in a man who keeps beating you, he never provided food, and as a matter of fact he eats more than we do, thinking in my head if he hits my mom again I’m will hurt dude,
I’m still searching for someone to call Dad, but from when he died to now he has always been in my head,
I’m unborn because I’m premature, I was forced to be a man before I knew what they were, A man has no time for childish games so in that case, every man my mom was with were all the same, just wanted to get with my mom but never wanting to be with her, so every night I stay up trying to catch him creeping on her,
But its not my business, what do I have to do with it, I’m still searching for a man that is finished, the confidence leaves my body and so he dies,and at that very moment my heart starts to cry, but because I’m the man of the house, I can’t let that show, so I’m playing games with girls hearts like they hoes,
I’m the same man he was, except I’m not a complete thug, I never knew the truth behind a true relationship, and this, subject is so hard for me like a bank robber’s son whose sick, so he robs the pharmacy,
He’s dead but his life lives on because he’s my father plus a King and he deserves his throne, I was searching for my dad for all the wrong reasons, until I looked with in myself and I started to be him, I’m just like him now so I need to step into my new man shoes, I’m born and he’s known I will know that soon!
