    My Sun

    I asked for the moon
    And I got the sun
    As spring arrived
    I got the storm-clouds
    But we all know
    Better days are near

    You are my flesh and blood
    You are the fruit of my loin

    I answered the call
    Could not have asked for a better person
    Mummy would never hide things from me

    Had to be strong
    And put up a front
    A wall of judgment
    And acceptance

    Someone has to hold the rein
    Life must be kept in control

    My boy
    My son
    My Macedonian Warrior
    My Greek God
    My little fighter

    You bring us joy
    You bring us laughter
    You remind us of a delicacy called love
    You are my greatest pride

    I kept from you that I had a daughter and son before you
    Until it's the right time for you to know
    That is why you must survive
    You are my only hope

    East Europeans
    That's all we are
    Why should we have lives and emotions?
    Some of us are here by choice
    And some of us are here by God-accepted fate
    And we thank this country for the blanket it provides
    A blanket which our own couldn't
    And wouldn't

    Far away and keep your sanity
    Saltwater of Odyssey swilling in your mouth
    Sirens whispering in your ear
    Where are all the old friends gone?
    All the Aussies and the Kiwis
    All the Nigels
    All the Johns and Stewarts?
    Have to be strong
    Have to go on
    Family awaits
    Loaf on the table

    Pity not. Don't pity
    Just understanding
    A milestone for those
    Who have passed this road before
    Or will go through here one day

    I am your father
    I understand

    We pray
    Even if we never believed

    Reality does not need to have
    A Penguin printed in the corner
    Or be presented by Fox
    Reality is here and now

    It surrounds us
    It engulfs us
    And it drowns us

    But we go on

    Even when alone

    We continue

    To walk

    Through each day

    Thinking that we know where we're going

    We go on.

    So fight, my son, fight
    Fight it
    I know you can go through it
    My boy
    I know you'll get better
    My baby

    Be strong

    You are my battery

    Your father loves you


    Fight it

    That made me cry. It reminded me of my brother and dad. I like it.

    Thank you, ssreetnulov. Sometimes life throws stones at us and hurts us, but even though we're all victims, I know that we're also survivors. Sometimes people just don't realize how much they have in common, even when they're total strangers. It's only the pisstakers, spammers, trolls, and idiots that spoil it for everyone. But that's only because they haven't reached the milestone yet. We're all human. And even when there's no shelter on a stormy night, there is always a light and an open door for everyone if they look for it.

    life doesnt do that much to me since I bought my own armoured vehicle. most people in London who would throw stones or pull out a shooter will run when I rattle off a burst of automatic fire from the turret. I think everyone should arm themselves against life by becoming more cynical and less gullible toward other people
