To cast aside my ideals,

Abandon my emotions,

Thus becoming a whole new entity,

Is something I wish to become,

But cannot accomplish.

I am who God created me to be,

A man whose emotions are upon his shoulders,

A man who ideals are engraved in stone,

Thus being true to himself,

All the while taking in pain,

And still finding joy admist it all.

In times of solitude I reflect,

Thinking of things I chose to neglect,

Of mishaps I chose not to forget,

Those who I wanted to protect,

And yet felt shame and regret,

Love and lust I attained in retrospect,

Only to be let down my worth I beget.

I am still here,

stronger in mind and body,

Able and willing to fight,

When negativity sets in,

I am silent for speaking will signal defeat.

No more shall I desire a false life,

Instead I will live in the now,

And be thankful that God has given me this life,

So that I may experience the true meaning of my birth.
