Every day I try my best.

To be the son you hoped for

But no matter how hard I try  I always fall and disappoint you despite giving it my all.

I see the disappointment in your eyes.

Who knew someone’s face could speak 1,000 words?

I strive to make you proud to be the son you deserve but my mistakes and flaws seem to  always get in the way .

I know you had such dreams for me. But I keep stumbling in the darkness unable to find the light.

I wish I could rewrite the script and change my story.

Though I stumble and fall  I won’t stay on the ground.

I’ll keep pushing forward fueled by the hope that one day I’ll hear those words from you.

“I’m proud of you son.”.
