Now I'm A Man

My mind has now buckled,
Beneath the stress,
The weight of my tears,
Has caved in my chest,

My smiles have all gaded,
Demons stand tall,
My thoughts are all spread,
Like paint on the wall,

I hold it together,
Crumble it does,
My freedom flies off,
With wings of a dove,

I no longer care,
Just like a lamb,
So blindly lead,
By foreign hands,

I've lost sense of feeling,
Rebel no more,
I'm the great whale,
That's stuck on the shore,

I am now here alone,
No one to care,
My life has grown grey,
Along with my hair,

What's there to cherish,
When all I had,
I threw to the dogs,
Like scaps in a bag,

I know that I'm guilty,
Of self abuse,
The complaint is filed,
And I'm the accused,

Quit with excuses,
Accept my fate,
I must eat the food,
I've put on my plate,

I bite down tightly,
Do what I can,
Rise up to my feet,
And now I'm a man.
