Trust issues.

We all have trust issues

And had a dad who died.

You are not that special,

You don’t get to cry.

We all got that childhood

Don’t ask us how it went.

It surely wasn’t pretty

Though we like to play pretend.

We all were way to fragile

When people that we loved

Colapsed before our bare feet

And asked us for support.

And how could we support them

When we had just arrived

Not knowing what this world was

Or how to stay alive.

And now we meet, two strangers

Trying to figure out

Who has the biggest baggage

Who has it figured out.

Comparing scars and bruises,

Who got the best abuse.

It’s like a competition

Still no one is amused.

Cause we forgot to laugh, dear

When mother called us home

Only to tell us dad left

Leaving us all alone.

And we forgot to dance straight

From that night, on that stage.

When loved ones fought death

Without a lucky hand.

But we need to remember

So we can stay alive.

I’ll teach you some old dance moves.

Please teach me how to smile.
