thoughtful oh thoughtful
maybe I could understand
what does it take to simply break a man?
thoughtful oh thoughtful
maybe I could comprehend
what does it take to face ones end
the courage
the faith
the fear
the pride
eager and shameful
for every feeling quietly resides
or it roars
taking a physical form
dependent only on itself
when walls can no longer hold
waiting patiently
still trying to understand
standing here quietly
asking
what does it take
to merely
break
a
man
