_{When will I find the person that I need to be?}

_{When will I find the life I need to live?}

_{When I look in the mirror I see myself,}

_{and I don’t like what I see.}

_{Could I be that person that I see?}

_{That person that I see, just can’t be me.}

_{Because he looks so old and worn out.}

_{I ask him “What happened to him?”}

_{He answered. “As time went by People}

_{took and took until my life was drained”}

_{They took and drained the life out of him.}

_{By wanting him to do so much for them.}

_{He told me to be careful and learn from his mistakes}

_{Because there is too much at stake.}
