Just A Dad-A place for encouragement and support

One by one

The walls came tumbling down

For a moment

You felt peace

Not pain

You felt hope

Not regret

Everything started coming together

Dots were connecting

No need to worry about life anymore

One by one

All of the haters

Disappeared

Seeing you become successful

Made them ride off

In the sunset

Leaving tracks untraceable

Soon

Everyone else followed

One by one

Family

Friends

Fading

Leaving you to your own devices

OneBy

One

Here comes depression

Taking you

Breaking you

Tearing you apart

Leaving the scraps

For low self esteem

To pick through

Going after your pride

Attacking

Everything you once stood for

Leaving you without a shield

To fight against

Things that triggered tension

Preventing you from pouring yourself

Into others

But also pouring into yourself

One by one

With no army needed

Along comes disaster

In the form of disconnection

Disconnected

From blood

No form of family

Far away from friendsOne by one

Here comes

Separation

Something that should have

Its own emoji

Next thing you know

Lies

Cheating

Pain

Hurt

All came back

Damage

Already Done

But

With darkness

Comes light

With that light

Comes a time of change

That time

That moment

When you realize you have fought

Battles

Enemies

That challenged you on the inside

Going after your mental

AndEnemies is who attacked you on the outside

Giving insult to your character

You suddenly become stronger

It’s that inner strength

That allows the heart

Time

To build again

One by one

Trust

Pride

All being built

One by one

Peace

Balance

Being laid at the foundation

One by one

Pillars are standing tall

Once again

You start to find out

That who you was

Got lost in who you become

One by one

Purpose

Was now on the center stage

One by one

MeaningDreams

All started showing up

Scared

But willing to fight again

One by one
