#1615 bread crusts

you do what you can
you wake
you sacrifice
you teach
you sleep (a bit)
then you do a lot of second guessing
but you do what you can
a day comes
when you need to set them free
you miss the control
the being the protector
but they walk out the door without your hand
and you trust
(or at least try to trust)
that all those mornings
all those bread crusts
all those lessons
gave them what they need
to be a good person who knows how and when
to stick up for themselves, those close to them, and what they believe in
still, as the door closes
tears try to chase them
