Wrote this for a very great friend. <3
He though he held time in his hands
But the death of a family member is all it takes to awake a man
It shattered the watch that in his hand
When he awakes from bed in the morning, he steps into the sand
He has no home, as he wanders the land
He keeps two pics in his hands
Three pics in his pants
Five pics in his shoes
These ten memories of his family is all that's making him stand
Nobody is there to support him, he suffers the heat without a fan
Life tossed him into the ocean without him learning how to swim
The sharks ate off both his arms and one of his legs, he's going out on a limb
To figure out if life involves him
In the night he has nightmares
And in the morning he's mourning
No wonder he desires death, his life is so boring
They look at him with hate
His little strength is all that he feeds off
But they steady eating off his plate
He walks around hoping things will get better, he even dreams when he's awake
He's going insane
Hoping that life is a game
He wants it all to be fake
So he shuts down his brain
Tied away his feelings with chains
And puts on a smile
Hoping someone will say, isn't that a wonderful child
When that didn't work, he puts his head down in shame
He said I'll leave the same way my parents did
I'll go out in flames
Why fight it
He grabbed a match and was about to light
Jesus said wait
Whispered into his ear...it was then he knew his future would be great
He though he held time in his hands
But the death of a family member is all it takes to awake a man
