if all i do is try to succeed,
why is it i only bleed?
i try to do the best i can
but when i do, i fall, unlike a man.

when im looking at my past
i see the mistakes i cant undo,
what will i do,
when im all alone
when im in the gutter grey and old,
what will happen then?
will i un-fold

i keep on thinking
for when im on my own,
for whom i will pray for
because its still unknown.

whos in my life
so special
to get my last wish?
who'll be there for me
when i take my last breathe?
will i be alone
grey and old
what will happen?
i will un-fold
