Slave

What is a man if he's not allowed
To take any decisions
Just a foolish slave
Another face in the crowd
Watching people passing by

Oppressing every emotion
To avoid the pain

Powerless
Not able to change a thing
Frustrated
So sick of failing again

What is a man if he's taken the chance
To have time on his own
Just a working horse
Another slave to money
Working until he's useless

What is a man if he's never able
To experience love
Just a hollow shell
Oppressing every emotion
To avoid the pain

Such a man is long dead
Before he realises
So long dead before anyone
Ever cares
