Six
No man has to walk
Alone
Fending off his demons
By himself

Trying to suppress the
Voices
In his head as they mute
His own

And controlling his thoughts
And emotions
To the point where he feels
Like he can’t go on.

All the negativity floods
His mind
And he feels overwhelmed
That he just wants to fall

And doesn’t wanna be lifted
Back up again
Because he’s had enough of
This cruel world.

Wandering aimlessly alone with
All the emotions
Of hopelessness, helplessness,
Worthlessness

He wonders if anyone out there
Will help him
But he’s too scared, ashamed,
To reach out,

To ask for help,
To talk to someone
About whatever demons
He’s fighting within.

No man has to battle his
Demons alone
Because we know what he’s
Going through.

We’ve been there many
Times
And we’ve fallen many times
But we got back up,

Dusted ourselves off,
And continued fighting
Our battles and not
Giving up no matter what.

We know what you’re going
Through
And we’re your biggest
Supporters and cheerleaders.

No man has to travel this path
Alone.
We got your six...
We got your six.
