Too Late

The young boy has
Turned into a man
And he’s growing stronger
He’s battled through things
He thought he could
Go on no longer
Father stood by his side
Wanting nothing more
Than just be his dad
But pride only answers
To one call
He only condemns him
And if the boy only knew
The father’s pain
The nights that he
Stayed up late
Wondered why
Doesn’t he see the future
Is so bleak so bleak
Father’s retired now
He’s left with tv and rest
The weight of the world
