He felt the world closing in, hope fading above
His beliefs have proven falsely, he was naught but just naïve
The words full of pleadings fell on deaf ears
The trust shattered like glass, one born of elapsed years
Fuelled by the grief and the rage the wheels turned
It was stopped by a choice, resolute, unafraid
While he was aware it’s clicking somewhere uncouth
Why care for the world if this is all that it’s worth
The decision was the ladder that pulled him out of the swamp
One made by himself, it made him sure he’s not just a lamp
He walked down that pavement he himself built
And blocked out the noice, for the best or the worst
And today he was reminded his actions may undo the worth of his name
The derisive laughter sounded inside, then they like what I did, not who I am
He cemented his roots and cleared his sights to set off
Through the road that he chose, lonely, but free
