Can I?

Can I become the man that I need to be? Can my eyes open, and have one glimpse of being free? Can I overcome the pain that my hate has brought? Can I gain more strength after all the times we have fought? Can I work around the problems I've endured? Can I put up with these things you've given to me to ensure? Can I let my lungs inhale and breathe today? Can I push this pain behind the doors and shut them away? Are you always going to remind me about things like you do? Are you still going to throw things at me that I've already been through? With all the pain and suffering, why can't you just admit it? When you don't know the truth about any of it Make me cry and run away from this place Cause in reality it's your own problems you can't face So instead of me asking you, can you look in my eyes And ask yourself, Can I?
