Disappointed

Disappointed

You are lost in time. 

Wanting a better future

but your mind is trapped in the past.

Never knowing what you will do next.

 I once looked up to you,

you were my teacher, my mentor, my brother. 

You taught me to be strong, to not be afraid of who I am.

Now, you are here standing before me,

a shadow of the man you use to be.

skin and bones is what left you.

Skin and bones.

The passion in your eyes is gone.

You should of listen to the ones who went through what you wanted to experience.

They survived the pain,

the sorrow.

You were raised to be a man not a warrior,

never meant to fight the battles you fought.

The world is rough and it took its toll on you.

now you are a shadow of a man.

Just skin and bones

Skin and bones.

The ideas that ran ramped in your mind, your coy smile, 

your love of life, gone.

Gone, because you did not listen.

Here I stand, staring into your lifeless eyes,

 and I cannot help but feel disappointed.
