For Those Fatherless

 Father watch me as I run through this life
I have no direction no final destination
how you made everything make sense
Now I'm running senseless

Lost in obscurity sprinting like a madman
After every single thing you taught me
exhaustion in my chest weighing me down
Too close to the heart

I'm running like these lost ones
trading grins for frowns in pretense
Father look down at my pathetic attempt
to be somebody whole and real

No attachments I seek life
I saw the one you built before you expired
It's not envy that has me standing outside
It's the fact I wanted to ou tdo you

Win more and be greater than you ever were
But there's only numbness in my will to compete
Only tired wrath where once optimism flowed
But I can't stop running toward nowhere

To places and people I don't know the names of
To create the riddles yet be the butt of the jokes
Couldn't I just dress and behave like they do
Instead of attempting to herd them

The way you did remember father
so we run, not just me but millions of men
Who run like wounded camels fatherless
with something to prove but no one is interested
