I know of this man,
such a man is he,
takes the world that is given,
and smashes it to the ground

I know of this child,
who fights for his independence,
when received,
though,
he cries out for company

I know of this human,
who acts like he belongs,
striving for acceptance,
yet,
pushes those away without knowing

This Man
This Child
This Human

He is perfect yet stumbles with every step,
he shouts his views from the rooftops, yet hides when confronted
he longs for love, yet smothers the seed before it can grow

You may know this Man, Child, Human
You may have seen his mistakes,
seen his wrong doings,
seen his failure

I see it

I see his suffering,
his denial,
his long for something more in life than life
he wishes for a call,
a message,
a note

From anyone, anything, anywhere,
to show him,
to prove to him,

That it will be alright,
in The End
