Culmination

Here I amStaring at the man I used to beHere I amStaring at the man I have becomeRemembering all the things I've doneAll the battles I have wonAnd all the ones I have lostI have fallenAnd I have stood tallI've had everythingAnd I've had nothing at allHere I amStaring at the man I used to beHere I amStaring at the man I have becomeAll these things that I have done make me completeThese memories in my mind that will never recedeI have been blinded by optimismAnd I have seen realityI have hidden my pain deep insideSo no one would seeI have watched myself fall apartAnd I have put myself back togetherI have won and I have lostThe respect of manyI have seen and I have heardThe words that burn my beingHere I amStaring at the man I used to beHere I amStaring at the man I have becomeI have crashed and I have burnedI have lived and I have learnedI have drowned in the abyssAnd I have flown to the stars aboveI have hated and I have lovedI have killed and I have diedI have laughedAnd I have criedHere I amStaring at the man I used to beHere I amStaring at the man I have becomeAll these things that I've doneAll these things that made meWho I am today
