That special song.

I don't know if you all have the same. That one special song that says it all. Like the lines were written especially for you.

When I was young, my father was somebody with a lot of self esteem. He was briljant in his own eyes, and I should be just like him. As a matter of fact he didn't achieve much, but to me eyes, being young, I had to walk in his footsteps. He had a job, was married, had kids, that's succes. Hard working was the key.

I never recieved any compliment of him. He Always put me down. I got all my schooldiplomas, still not enough. I got a job right after graduation, insufficient to his eyes. He was Always talking me down, untill I didn't take it no more. I have Always been a creative person, but he tried to make me a moneychaser, which is just not me. Being happy, doing what I like is at least as much important to me than only what it pays.

I was playing guitar back then, and I could have become so much better than I am today. He Always picked out every failure and told me that I wasn't good at it. Nobody wants to listen to your louzy playing, he often said.

This song must have been written with that period of my life in mind...

Then the best thing that could happen happened. I met the girl who was heaven sent to save me. I met her in a bar, how romantic, and I knew, she was the one. I asked her the next day to stay with me, and she did. As a matter of fact, she's on my couch right now, and man, I love her even more than the first day I met her.

She tought me how to be satisfied with myself. That she loved me for who I was inside. The writer, the poet, the dreamer it's all in me, and she loves me for it. We are blessed with three kids who call me the best dad in the world, just for who I am.
I still have problems with accepting compliments, but I'm getting there.
I'm now at this point that if somebody don't like me or my work, that's okay, I don't give too much about it anymore. I had fun creating it, wheter you like it or not.
On the other hand, every upvote or reply is appreciated. When I say, I'm glad you liked it, I mean that from the deepest of my heart, and that's not a lie, it's the painfull truth of a life being beaten down. Sometimes a word means more to me than an upvote from a whale at full strength ;)

I now have a new song, thanks Gavin, and I think you understand why ;)

Much love my friends!
