    <u> </u>


    There walks the man I was supposed to be


    His head held high, his emotions free.


    He’s achieved my goals free from adversity

    Learned, wise and in harmony.


    With the world around him.


    And he knows what he’s achieved; and it has made him proud


    He’s not stood alone, a face lost in the crowd.


    For he’s made his mark, and he’s made it loud.


    He gives not a single thought, to if it’s allowed.


    He has not suffered as I have suffered; he knows not my pain


    He thinks not in terms of profit or gain


    He knows not the abyss, the pit formed by loss


    He does not look at his choices and question the cost.


    I see him walk by but he does not see me.


    I’m a better man than I was supposed to be.
