THE KNOWING

There’s someone that I know so well
What makes him tick inside
I know what he has seen
And why sometimes he’ll go and hide

For I have seen his anger
And his heart without disguise
I know he pays a penance
You can see it in his eyes

Inside his saddened soul
He built a fortress to defend
Defiant to a world that gave him
Wounds that would not mend

A hard road he has taken
And a path too long he’s known
For each day remains a battle
As he fights to get back home
