step father

DO not shake your head,
resign to silence for your authoritiveness no longer has value,
leave  ajar that door to your sanctuary ,
curse, scream ,throw something ,
just don't let  your hands  be the reciever   of those tears ,
Don't cry for me ,
if I should succumber to poverty, drown in sorow,
wallow for all my life in depression ,
fall on my way to greatness ,
revished by sickness of my own creation .

if I 'm not among the greats ,
the chosen ones, 
it won't be because you failed me in breeding,
but it would be, for you taught me to dream,
to never be afraid of fear and walking alone in the dark ,
to touch that burning fire ,
to run with imaginative thoughts ,
to fail on my way to greatness ,
  just be proud that I did it my way.
