I’ve been waiting

Life is fading

For a break to be

All the person

Everything

I had planned to be

I have failed more than I’ve won

I’m beginning to think I’m the only one

Unless you all pretend

And that I cannot see

Is life believing

Is life achieving

Or just relieving

Pressure from

A path that leads to time

Ends at a wall 

Too high to climb

 

 

You are scared and

So am I

The jokes on men

We all will die

All religious

All malicious

The rich the poor

The best within us

And when we take that final breath

Don’t wait too long to cash the check

For money equals pleasure

And the measure of a man

That I’ve loved

Is all I have

No riches, glory

Just a dad

And sadness fused with joy

Yes I’m a man

And still a boy
