As A Child

As a child
been looking for the love’ n

As a child
been looking for the touch ‘n

As a child
been looking for that feel ‘n

As a child
been needing to feel supported

As a child
been needing to feel protected

As a child
Was taught to feel afraid

As a child
Has been shelter and ignored

As a child
I could see the stress within my mother’s eyes

As a child
I was never taught that love comes from within

As a child
I was taught distress and now my body cries

As a child
I hid in my mind I opened a door and protected my life

As a child
I was young and frail but I was guided within too.

As a child
I have always seen a very bright light and I knew.

As a child
The pain I went through but the person I have become

The Man
Is someone New
