Is this really me? <br /> <br />Am I dad to be? <br /> <br />See it was only last night I was sat at the pub <br /> <br />With not a care in the world, with friends smoking bud <br /> <br />Laughing and joking <br /> <br />Playing poker and smoking <br /> <br />Feeling like a teenager <br /> <br />No responsibilities <br /> <br />But now time has caught up with me <br /> <br />I look in the mirror and I see a man <br /> <br />But I look in my pockets and see just a boy <br /> <br />I don’t want to be that man, to slow down and start paying the bills <br /> <br />Fixing and mending what you break is not the way I wish to get my thrills <br /> <br />I don’t want to bring up a child <br /> <br />When I still feel like one lost in the wild <br /> <br />So please take this away from me <br /> <br />Am I really a dad to be? <br /> <br />Copyrighted Sara Tehrani May 2009<br /><br />Sara Tehrani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-denial-9/
