My life has no meaning
Truthfully, I have no feeling
Of being a man and standing tall
In fact, I feel nothing but small

Inner love is now what I must regain
To keep myself from going insane
To find the manly feelings I had in my life
To get back the pride to handle the strife

I have never felt this way before
A feeling that keeps me constantly sore
My inner being has been totally crushed
This time I will not be rushed

Be it day, week, month or year
I will do it myself without any fear
To think of past challenges when I can
To prove to myself "I am a man"
