I smile but i don’t know who my father is,
i smile but i only have have a glimpse of how my mother was,
i smile but i don’t have any siblings,
my tears and struggles shedded off my skin of being soft,
i’m a strong man,
i fear none,
i’m a big man,
i hear none,
life has made me a man before the age,
many don’t understand,
only God knows,
school is a fantasy,
a home is a dream,
food is a struggle,
my childhood taken away,
all my tears dried up,i don’t cry no more,
the cold nights,but i don’t cry no more,
my sick body,but i don’t cry no more,
the heavy world on my shoulder,but i don’t cry no more,
i can’t make lemonade out of lemon,but i don’t cry no more,
this is my life,
a boy standing on his own,God be my guide and guard.
