As a Man

As a man
I have to look for a way I can live in peace
Its a road yet full of diversions and stops on the way
I have to show how I care about ma friends and family

As a man
I look for a way I can be true and real
I don't wanna lie, though its the easiest cover-up
The moment you begin lying, it becomes a habit, one lie leads to another

As a man
I have to face my difficulties like a man
Running away shows how one is a coward
A time would come when you won't be able to hide

As a man
I have to correct my actions
Take responsibility for my mistakes and look for a better way
I have to forget my worst memories and cherish the good ones

I should act as a man in most of my doings, that's how I was taught.
