I wish I could stop their pain. What do they truly gain, When they're being put in all this pain? You don't think I know what it's like? LOOK AT ME!! I used to go through it everyday. There wasn't much I could say, but hey, you know what? I grew up, I stood up, I made them shut up. I became the alpha-male, I was the hammer to the nail. I made them wail. The cries still haunt me though. I became a monster, a foe. I looked into the mirror and yelled "No!" Who was I? A monster who wanted to die, Or just a guy? A guy who wants a new start. A guy with a passionate heart. A guy who will be a dart. I chose to defend, not destroy. No longer would I be a boy. I turned into a man who bring joy. A light in dark times, My flame constantly shinesMy love an compassion is my true weapon. Take my words into consideration. I am just a man. A man who sees the world differently. If you know me today, you know I don't plan things. I do them on a whim. I'm a jokester, a funny man, a goofball, but most importantly, I'm just a happy guy. I don't have a reason to be sad. Sure people attack that happiness, But I just smile back. My greatest gift IS my greatest weapon. Thus, that's how I get my name. Dan "The Man" Peters. It's not a name I chose. It's a name I earned There was a time I had to revoke it from myself, But after finding myself, I was reborn. But it's just a title. I don't let it be my definition. What I do defines me! I'm not perfect. Don't freak out when I mess up. Like before I'm just a man. A man who barely has a plan. There is more to me than meets the eye. So I must say with a sigh, Peace. Love. Equality. Only with those, can we achieve unity. The world might be dark. There might be dangerous sharks, but you know what? I'll be there to kick **** Until I can't breath, I won't give up. I will not shut up. I will fight. I will stand. I will remain a light. With my right hand, I vow to protect.
