The Alone

Underneath the blood and flesh

Underneath my heavy breath

Lays a meaning I do not know

Which holds the direction I should go

When I was a naïve and an impressionable boy

Life was simplistic, like playing with a toy

I have grown now, become a man

Now it’s time to have a plan

Fearful of the future my heart sinks

To the boy I was, my mind and heart still links

Failure and darkness over takes my thought

Alone I feel, left to rot

On my knees I look to Him

Yet still my soul aches in the dim

For I'm a young man and manhood has just begun

Why can't I see that when I look to the son?
