For This Man I Spoke Out


I spoke out

A yearning calls
But, is it of the heart
Could be a yearning of a selfish pride
A secret to gain self-glory
A trek of agony 
To forge through this life

For the glory of self-satisfaction 
Is a short lived story
Once again with shovel in hand
You dig deep to portray a fictitious facade to begin your story 

And then along comes the day
To face all your truths
To remember all your secrets 
And walk the road you've paved
[]
I saw this man subdued in chains
A life of ridicule he lived each day
Perhaps, born with a heart of love
But, the world and all it's expectations 
placed him within
a dark crevasse

Be careful Oh people
Of all the words you choose to say
For some people are vulnerable 
And the cost is more than they can pay

Could It be a lonely soul dreaming of a chance
To fit in and find acceptance...

for the world and all its trickery hands out murmurous words of doubt

Alone and desperate

For this man
I spoke out
