Born Alone Naturally
I am a man born alone
prepared to die alone
in between I will be responsible to me alone
for what I do or who I become
or what I leave behind when my life is done
my intentions will never be to bring about harm or misery
but I do intend to face my life and human strife successfully
there may come a time when I’m knocked down
and lay upon the cold and hardened ground
but I will never cast a stone at those who were in my way
only to get back up and start again
in the morning of a brand new day
if I fail that is my choice
not to listen to your voice
if I succeed that is my choice as well
you’ll never find me cursing or blaming
anyone else that they made my hell
to blame only brings shame in life’s eternal game
when I look into the mirror and face my face alone
I feel the pride inside that I have never cast a stone
we are all self made
but only those who do succeed accept this truth of life
and are willing an able to fight for the right
to stand proud and stand alone
before we are buried and lay cold under a stone
