WHO AM I
a man that feels beaten and low;
a man that feels broken ya know;
a man that was divorced after 36--years of marriage:
leaving me feeling motionless like a broken carriage:
really dont know what to think ,do or say;
i felt i have lost my way;
i do my best going to work each and every day:
the hardest thing for a man is to give up in alimony support half his pay:
she betrayed me ,disrespected me , decieved me and cut me deep:
everything i threw away nothing did i want to keep:
the only thing that i keep is a heart that has been broken and smashed:
eight children we had for 36--years i gave it my all and now i am thrown out in the trash:
who am i when others disrespect me and put me down:
i feel deeply saddened and it makes me frown:
i do my very best and i try to fake it and smile through the hurt pain and shame:
i am a divorced man a father of eight and feel like im living out in the rain:
who am i when others put me down and criticize me of being down and slow:
that to me is a low blow:
i dont forget how others make me feel:
really before i have withstood so much more and felt strong as steel:
but soon i will turn 58:
and i dont feel so invincible or great:
i do my best in my living everyday:
with half of my paycheck my bills i try to pay:
it dont matter to me if its noon or midnight:
i just dont feel no delight i dont feel so right:
who am i when others disrespect me bully me and put me down:
im already a broken beaten man on the ground:
everyday i try to do my best:
but never get a long rest:
a heart that has been broken,shattered and torn in two:
for a long time feels blue:
one day i do pray that someone will love me true:
and i will feel special alive and well and good as new:
so even though in feel as the wind and life is knocked out of me-and i feel so down -devastated and low;
i hold onto hope faith and love and try to keep gods glow:
i know that there are many other men who are going through this same hurt pain and shame:
same story just different name
hold onto your peace love serenity --keep faith and hope:
pray with all your might to have strength to cope:
rise above the pain--have grace --understanding--compassion --and courage to forgive:
then with your eyes on the lord --go on and happily live:
