He sees the pain
Feels the strain
Its deeper than he can imagine
It's a battle he can't win
Something he tries not to believe
This causes him to grieve
Sadly he can't show how it all began
Or maybe its when he tried to be everyone's fan
All those times he thought he could please them all
Leading to his fall
If only the world can see
Maybe they would let him be


Tried his best
Hoping to be better than the rest
Hanging in the balance
Emerging from his trance
As the secret tears drops
And crazy thoughts pops
He has lost something he can't replace
No fixing even if Coldplay tries to make a case
Sleepless nights
Useless shinning amour bearing knights
Light should guide him home
But he is Nigerian, at the mercy of PHCN
And even if he tries to call he gets to deal with MTN
Incoherent words of a troubled mind
