The Better Man

Why am I really here?

A question that haunts my dreams

While I'm angry on the outside

It's really my inner child that screams

To never know the feeling

Of what it's like to be accepted

But who knows the pain and sorrow

Of what it's like to be rejected

Will I always be on the run?

From the emotions I keep with in

I've been running for years now

Fighting an endless battle I cannot seem to win

Held in an embrace so loveless

By the man I love the most

Trying so hard to make him love me

Yet never coming close

And as I gaze at the ocean below

I am willing to admit

That he will never love me in return

Given the scar to prove it

But the most painful scar I have

Is the one I keep inside

A shattered soul next to a broken heart

Well hidden beneath my pride

I smile bitterly to the heavens

As the rain slowly falls down

Let is wash away my insecurity

And let the fears inside me drown

I will not cry over my losses

For they only remain to make me strong

I will win this war if it kills me

If only to prove that bastard wrong

I will not fall to his memory

And I will do everything I can

To win this senseless war between us

And prove that I am the better man
