What to do with a troubled heart

Its useless thinking what to do

Been thinking about her, missing her, wanting her but

what can I do

I'm like a beautiful parrot I saw at the bird shop today. So gentle and lovely but

chained down to a stand. I can only stare at the sky right before me

to see other soaring birds taking flight to new heights.

what can I do

My will to live is strong but

all that has to be awaken to do great things for

myself? for men, for the world? They wouldn't need me to move along in life,

She wouldn't miss me when I am gone, my spirit wouldn't pity my weaknesses,

my breath will stop, my world will go silent, the men I admire most will turn and walk away

what can I do

I am just a man
