A flower but not a rose, the sun but no light flows... through. Hurt but you caused the pain, alone but you chose that lane; You were the one that, gave up on you. Now, you're locked down like an animal in the zoo. I've heard it all before, Now.... You with your complaining has become-- the bore. You made decisions, You made the choice, No-One... forced you, Now.... stay your course. You act-- as though life owes you....but we both know that's not true.... you owe life-- it doesn't owe you! You chose to lie, sell dope,run the streets.... now behind bar--- no-need to weep: Hey! You sowed now you reap. You sold yourself, betrayed your life and now.....You wonder- why! Nothing's right. You left your friends and family too, Why! Should, they suffer because of you? You made the choice that.... got you in--- so stop blaming your family.... and your friends: when it was you-- who did sin. Even-Now, You haven't changed..... it's all about you; still playing games. It's so sad cause we cared for you but that's, something that you never learned to do. Life moves-on, Life's to short..... whatever this is I must abort. Yeah! I like you and I think that you're cool, but to except what you offer.... I would have to a fool. We make choices..... be-they good or bad. We must stand-by them .... even-if, because of them we are sad. I'm just, a flame.... a candle in the wind; trying to kick-some-knowledge; to a so called friend. Life doesn't owe you, You owe it. You were man enough to make choice... now be man enough to live with it. Man-Up.... Change for the best-- do what's right and God will do the rest. Man-Up!
