The Genetic Chain..

Is there a part of you lurking in me?
Just waiting for my subconscious
to set you free?
Just a minute piece
is all it takes..
To build upon
years of pain and hate.
Genetics...
I know they are there.
Just waiting for the right moment?
To enjoy my despair.
I can feel them at times
screaming to come out.
The bad thoughts cross my mind.
The words want to escape.
But I will not let them
as I fight to control
my own fate.
And if a time comes
that I can no longer control..
Then I will have to end it my way…
I will have to let life go..
For my children will
NEVER feel this deep dark hole.
I know that it could hurt
those who might care .
They may even hate me.
But I can only do what I can.
I will not pass on this life I know.
I hope they understand..
My life always switching, fighting, pretending.
Always cold.
This is not the life
I want my sons to know..
No darkness for my children…
just a small empty spot.
Where I once was..
but will soon be forgot..
But the love that I have given them
I know will see them through.
And in my heart I will know
that I did the right thing.
I did what I had to do.
To stop this line of madness
To stop all the generations of pain.
Such a small price to pay…..
With generations of
happy children to gain.

No you are wrong to see the children prospering without you. That is only one scenario. Many bad things might happen without you. You might sacrifice yourself and at the same time sacrifice them, Ginger,
it is time to outgrow these fantasies or what other choice. Are they act outable?
Well? Then all you need is a partner in crime to perform with you in the nefarious schemes. What do you really want? Tell me and you might be surprised at my response. I have seen and heard everything, and I am free for the taking. Jump on board and ride the train to Tiajuana and we will get stoned,
Or whatever. Do you want to go now or after Christmas? Bill Murray
