the man
I am the sad and lonely man,
your life I will condemn,
to parts of little of upbringing,
and toward the sign that
reads -
I am the actual antidote,
I am the guy that bites the snake,
I am so petrified by life,
I am god's blind mistake.
I see too much, it hurts me,
I tremble when I think,
I know you believe the same -
but you don't
you don't
I am strength and I am weakness
I am nothing but a know it all,
I CANT HEAR YOU IF I MUMBLE
I CAN'T HEAR YOU IF YOU TALK,
I can't cry for all the failings,
I was told by mum so young,
literal words she told me,
'don't take the world on'
I am the effervescence,
I am every moon,
I am the tear you let roll,
I am the one's also in your room,
let this be a blessing,
I know, I am the curse,
I am the man you wanted,
so ask yourself
first.
I am the beloved,
I am the weak,
I am the greatest god given thing,
as I know
anger
and I know sad.
I am everything you belived in
but I got it right,
I challenged you without touch,
I let you go when you dreamed flight
your life I will condemn,
to parts of little of upbringing,
and toward the sign that
reads -
