Hey hey hey! What's up?
Been awhile. Honestly, I'm not gonna pretend like I've ever had any kind of updating schedule and I probably never will. However, "The Contradiction" has been quite for a while and I just want to mention (for anyone who cares) that I am NOT abandoning the story. The direction I want to take it in, however, requires me to first write the whole thing and then publish it. So that's coming, hopefully, soon.
Also, there are two versions of Inútil, because as I was writing my brain was like "Amos singing about Aya", because this is such a " father wanting his daughter to be/do better than he has" kinda song. So, yeah, Version 2 is simply a Contradiction based thing that my brain came up with.
Enjoy!
Inútil
Amos Kane
This isn't happening
Inútil! Useless
Just like when my brother stood before me:
Inútil! Useless
And after that day
I stayed up late
And could only pray for pain
Pray for pain
I remember the days
When I was friends with my brain
When there was no shame
Iskandar would sit me down and he'd say:
"Your future is so, so brighter
You are so much smarter
And alwaysworking harder. "
And he'd tell me "Amos, I know you'll go father.
After all, you're a Kane.
You're gonna change the world someday!"
Now I'm in his place
And the world's just staring at me, useless.
Today my niece needs help and I am… useless.
My brother's kids amaze me with
The things they do each day. 4They never wait for faith.
And if he was next to me today,
I know my brother would say,
That he's proud to be their father
'Cuz they work so much harder
And they are so much smarter
Then we were at their age.
Iskandar was right that Kane
Will change the world spmeday.
I will not be the reason
That my family can't succeed
I will do what it takes
They'll have everything they need
Or all my work, al my life
Everything we've sacrificed will have been
Useless
