Flesh and Pain

Flesh and pain

They don't know my struggles
How I manage to survive 
Is never their worry 

What will a man with a heart 
Of gold do 
In an era of negligence

Will he run after the shadows
He knows not 

Or 

Will he be outlined if 
He disobey to follow 
The system to his doom

I asked again 
Are we meant to be comfortable
In difficulties

Cos for sure
They don't know my struggles
How I manage to survive 
Is never their worry

How could they worry 
When they wear no flesh 
Of good Or 
Either feel our pains.
