Dependability

From the shadows I arise
You spoke your heart
I spoke my mind
I'm on my grind
Your fighting demons
Will you be
Where you said you would
When the year ends
Or will I be standing
At the alter looking dumb
Can I trust you to stand firm
Will you believe I've never been touched
Will you treat me like a person
Show me your face
Speak out your mind
Or will I get a letter in Gmail
Telling me I failed
Too Pick another sail
You bailed ship and swam to shore
As serious as I
Took it and waited
It wasn't enough
You desired more
To catch a date
To give me a last chance
I'll believe you will be different
I believe you will be better
You will do what you say
Said what you did

I'll see your face in September
Till that time my heart is yours
My patience and restraint
Grows stronger and more firm
My faith secure and solid
The mustard seed turned into a mountain
The boy grows hair
As he turns to a man
Doesn't bite his nails
Brushes his hair
Sees the world a little more clear
Planning ahead instead of
Accepting the next bend
Coffers full on Friday and
still there by Sunday
Filling my stomach
Instead of doping my mind
Caring about myself
Instead of friends
Not being selfish but not
Of the world just
In the world
