Can a Man Be a Place?

Sometimes life can be wonderful and sometimes not so much. However even when its going seemingly well, pain can arise. This is a journey through the pain that can come from the stresses.

If a man can be a place…

Can a man be a place?

 

Could a man be an emotion?

Were it so then I know for sure that which I would become.

Surely if all that I am could be an emotion it would be love.

 

But love is such a deep and strong emotion.
So deep it is that if someone were that emotion

They would actually be wrapped around and feeding into others.

 

Worry.

Do I provide enough?

Do I love the right way?

What could I do better?

How will what I do wrong affect those I love?

 

Fear.

How long can I stay where I am?

How far will I go before its all simply gone?

Will I stand up with loved ones forever?

Or simply be left to stand alone?

 

Rage.

What is all I do never enough?

Who could understand what love puts me through?

Why do I sometimes just want to reset my life and start again?

Greatest of all the raged questions is one so simply stated.

If love is so great and so grand… why does it hurt again and again?

 

But a man can be a place. If he was a place he would be strong.

He would be a place that could stand the winds of change and the hurricane’s eye.

But in the end what would he gain for times right and wrong?

If a man could be a place I know how I would be.

I’d be as strong and stern and lonely as a tree.

For all the hurts and all the pains, is it worth it for the gains?

Were it possible I know and this is no lie.

An Island of Sanity am I.

Woahh, this has got a lot of emotion in it and is pretty intense. That's what I like about it. I absolutely love the line ''I’d be as strong and stern and lonely as a tree.'' That's my favourite, it just flows and sounds so melancholic. I love the ending too, it leaves you thinking. I like =]
