Can a guy,
Just like me,
Change for the better,
In a day,
To escape this lie,
The life that can't be,
All I know,
And all I do,
Is what I am not,
As they get me in this low,
I have to learn everything new,
Try to fight the old me,
Coming back,
The once fluorescent glow,
Faded from my face,
Only the few,
People holding me together,
Like a bow,
I face this flack,
My mental strength,
That you knew,
Was waning,
Beaten black,
My engine blown,
Can I borrow some luck?,
My heart straining,
My brain,
Tired,
Like fighting inside a sack,
How could I have known?,
That my days would become unstuck,
My imagination,
Makes sure it's forever raining,
My pride take,
Like the lion's mane,
Why should I give a buck?,
People aren't accepting,
My "I'm fine" act,
Much longer,
The odds,
Forever stacked,
Against me,
Until I grow stronger,
My only dreams,
No longer intact.
