Raise

You ask yourself how to become
A man who can stand alone

You gave up on so many things
You just stopped counting them
Sometimes you have the feeling
That you should be someone else
That you should have done bigger things
You should live a bigger life
You disapoint nobody but yourself
Anyway, you remain unsatisfied
You wish, you're bigger, more handsome and clever
You wish you're upright, and strong during fights
But you're not, you're just another shmunk

It's not about who you are but who you want to be

You blame yourself all the time
And you wish you are stronger
Just like your dad
You can't see, you can't feel
And least of all be the same
Please realise that it is just a shame
A denial

Listen to me
It's not about who you are but who you want to be

You beg for more
What are you waiting for?

Please step out of the shadow
There are may ways to grow up and strong

Grow up!
Life's not a treadmill
Un running river carrying souls
A current.
You can embrace your future
Chose your own path and principles
Your mistakes.

I now you will soon find
Your way to raise
