Fly free

poem by: Cody Bennett
Written on Apr 28, 2016

My mind feels so much clearer 
As the traumas roll nearer
I just wanna be able to look at the man in the mirror 
And know I can get through, with out  masking my terrors.
Been through a rough patch I guess you could say. 
Since I can remember I been feeling this way 
He wasn't around and I was holding it in.
Just wondering when I would get the support I needed from him. 
I understand you Pops and don't blame you one bit.
I have to find a better way to deal with this shit. 
I've seen the system fail you and so many others. 
I can't end up like that Dad help me, my sisters and brother. 
Maybe I haven't mentioned my mom because all I've seen her is strong. 
But dad help her as much as she helped you along. 
A lot like you I find peace in my words. And writings really helping so I'll try to heal like this first. 
Just let it take me to a happy place not freezing in the dirt. 
Only wish I could have said Goodbye. I love you pops fly free like a bird.
