Paradox

54 5 7
                                    

Someone will grasp your hand

And pull you off the path you carved,

Shout at you, or maybe raise a fist,

Caring little about your feelings,

Belittling you in every way possible,

Drowning you in their endless demands.


Someone will strip away your dignity,

Thrash and break you apart,

Until you are no more than a corpse,

But still, you won't be spared.

Not unless, of course, you've mastered

The fine art of being born a man.
