Say Hello to a new man

MY NAME FOR APPEARANCE SAKE IS OLD MAN ADEUS
You Can’t see me but you will, you will
I stand here in front of you a man jaded by the world
And I can promise every one of you that while I haven’t seen a lot of it
I've seen enough, but now I understand the place I am; now I get what must be done
I understand that it is now my time, at 25 years old to step out of the darkness that kept me in that solemn boring teenage outlook for much longer than was acceptable
I condemned myself to a life so easily forgotten, that was the life of my 22 year old self
But I get it now I’m happy now, but I'm angry now as well
Because you see no matter how hard you try, LIFE, is so easily a living hell
At the push of the button and the drop of the hat everything falls apart
While this is true and it may push me down again I will never be forgotten
