I'm staying here
For now
Not out of spite
Not out of indignation
But
Out of LOVE
Because I have a family
And
I want my daughter
To be able
To find me
Easily
In 4 more years
When she's old enough
Maybe
She'll find me
When she's 18
Instead of 21
I think
That's when
I
Can look
For her
I'm praying...
I have
To get things
All together
I only have 1 year
To make myself
PRESENTABLE
To her.
