He Broke Down Yesterday

He broke down yesterday and so did I His fears were evident, his wounds were open And there was nothing more beautiful Than a man with his scars Fighting his way to survive amidst the forces That want nothing but to break him down He broke down yesterday and so did I His love was one thing he did not want to let go For she was his, and his heart was hers There wasn't life in those eyes but yet somehow She was his solace His joy, his freedom, his comfort and maybe even his sanity. He broke down yesterday and so did I For he cried his heart out in the quiet of his room There was noone there to judge him or his tears He cried in anger, he cried in pain He cried for all those living this misery inhumane. But once he stopped, there was nothing stronger than him, because once he broke down, he built himself again. He changed as a person in everyone's eye He broke down yesterday and so did I.
