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
