Trying Times

I really don't have an answer 
looking at it for what it is 
his behavior is a problem 
and I just wanna solve it 
the logical thing that comes to mind is to discipline him physically
but will that really resolve it 
I gotta find a way to deal with the constant feeling 
of him not being able to properly communicate 
I kinda blame his mother because she dealt him this damage 
so in my heart I gotta confess there's still a little hate 
or was it just fate, it's too late for the what ifs and 
should've, could've, would've's 
I love him unconditionally 
so what he's going threw I feel too in my left bosom 
No time to be weak, passive, or complacent 
this here is the testing of my faith 
so I must remain patient 
What I'm chasing seems to be 
for my first born to get better and be normal
contemplating medication 
but everything will work out in due time 
done in accordance like it's formal 
these are trying times so I guess I really gotta try harder 
even if everything and everyone around me is folding 
I must remain stronger


Dedicated to my son 
my firstborn diagnosed with ASD
we will get threw this together 
whatever it takes 
I love you
