The Man I Was Supposed To Be

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.
